Hip no better at all this morning. If anything, slightly worse. I considered going right around the first roundabout and back home, but persevered. It’s frustratingly stubborn. I really thought it would have eased. I was trying to think what might have caused it and remembers the wire fence

That was unpleasant - apart from the lovely view. Dr ChatGPT says the pain in my lower back is likely a strained QL. Whatever it is, it’s hanging around too long and making running, yoga and even a gentle twist pretty uncomfortable. Today hurt all the way around and

Warm, humid and a little overcast this morning for my Thursday interval session. 10 min warm up and cool down with 8 x 60 second efforts and 90 second recoveries. Never been a fan of intervals and nothing has changed there, but there’s no doubt they are a great

Back to the Andalucian hills this morning.

So nice to get off the roads and onto the trails this morning. Thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Constantly tired. And I’m fed up of feeling like this. I’m also always cold. Hands and feet in particular. But even when the weather isn’t particularly cold, I’m just freezing. I think I might get some blood tests, just to check everything is OK. Strava Athlete

One thing that’s consistent right now is how tired I am. Strava Athlete Intelligence Solid Valderrama route run with a faster pace than usual, hitting tempo zones and showing strong speed in the final miles. Your Valderrama run was a standout performance, clocking in faster than your typical pace

Very tired this morning. Still feeling Sunday’s run in the legs. Nice though. Strava Athlete Intelligence Challenging Valderrama route with significant elevation gain, pushing through a slower pace while maintaining solid effort in the endurance zones. Your Valderrama run was slightly slower than your recent 30-day average, with a

That really felt like the end of a tough week. Ashtanga last night was up to Urdva Mukha Paschimottanasana - so quite a long one. And I’ve definitely felt the hills this week. Right hip flexor was complaining before I set off and really moaning by mile 10. I

First night in a week of not fasting and I felt a bit rubbish this morning. Sluggish and like I’m still digesting. As well as eating after 4pm, dinner was very late - around 9:30pm. Strava Athlete Intelligence Solid Valderrama route run with a strong finish, pushing pace
Running
Not done this route for a while. It’s a proper challenge with strong elevation gain over a relatively short distance. Today was supposed to be a 30 minute tempo at 7’57” pace with warm up and cool down, but I just fancied this route - not least for

Really enjoyed this one. The hills make an easy run a little more of a challenge, which is a good thing. Strava Athlete Intelligence Strong run with a progressive pace, pushing into higher heart rate zones and finishing fast with an impressive final mile sprint. Your Valderrama run shows a

Felt stronger today - at least for the first 80%. My rate was very low and despite a disturbed night‘s sleep, I felt rested and energised. Slight twinge in the right hip flexor, but something of nothing so not really concerned. Strava Athlete Intelligence Solid 7.6-mile run with

A little warmer than last week, but after a week of no running and yoga, I spent most of the run feeling guilty - rather than enjoying being out! Strava Athlete Intelligence Solid Valderrama route run with a challenging elevation profile, pushing into higher heart rate zones and finishing strong

Minus 4 degrees this morning. A little shock to the system after Spain! It’s taking me a while to find any kind of rhythm, but the ice patches me down today. Last thing I wanted to do was slip. Strava Athlete Intelligence Solid run with personal records on Albert

It’s an old photo as I completely forgot to take a picture today. A spot of drizzle, but warmer than Madrid. Though it was supposed to be a formal tempo run, I just “went with the flow”. I still registered tempo pace more or less throughout, but legs remain
