Running
Two runs and a short walk this morning. Dead beat. Started an intermittent fast regime yesterday and after two lots of hills this week and no running at all last week, it was a shock to the system! I’m sure it’ll get easier after a few weeks, but

More hills. Wonderful morning. Climbs felt OK today but generally still not feeling my best. The cold is hanging around and I’m still very snotty (sorry!). I say it frequently, but still can’t say it enough: blessed to have such amazing routes to run. I pinch myself most
Running
Thought about a half today and then changed my mind and did hills instead (a bit pushed for time if I’m honest). Hard to believe from this photo the deep blue sky that opened up about 90 minutes later, but I wasn’t complaining about the cooler temperature that

Still feeling last week’s chest cold. A little tired and my heart rate is around 10 bpm higher than it should be. The weather was kind though. A light cloud cover kept the heat off and a gentle breeze also made it feel very pleasant for running. Despite feeling

Paseo del Parque and definitely feeling the missed runs this week. Beautiful weather. Set off thinking “I’ll take it slowly today.” Then soon realised, there probably wasn’t another option! On the recommendation of Andi Ihantko (MacBreak Weekly), I downloaded an app called “Habits” from the Not Boring developers.
Running
Since I haven’t run since Sunday [sigh] I thought I’d wake the legs up with a gentle 5k. Lovely to be back in Spain. I was only away a week (and we had some great weather in London), but there’s something about the depth of blue in

Hyde Park, as planned. Beautiful weather today. Felt yesterday’s seven miler in my legs a little today, but it was a lovely run. Lots of runners and walkers out enjoying the sunshine in the parks.

London again and one of my usual routes on a Saturday morning, often timed to coincide with the Battersea Park run which I meet coming in the opposite direction. Today was good. Started out feeling tight and a little sore in the left IT band but it eased off after

Back to running how I feel like running. I woke up yesterday pondering on why I’m trying to get faster. I’m not at the age where PBs are a possibility. I like to run and it makes me feel good, particularly at times when life presents so many

Still feeling tired. But today it was a lack of sleep, rather than tired legs. I guess it’s an unavoidable downside of age, but it’s frustrating that it seems to take much longer - and a lot more work - to bring fitness levels back. I’ve lacked

I love the views around here. And I also love having to earn them. Lots of climbing on today’s run. Started with the usual pull up past La Finca en route to Sotogrande International School. Then a right turn towards Castellar. Heading in that direction the ascent continues, but
