Big thanks to David and Ken for inviting me to guest on their podcast "Firing the Man." It was a great chat though I fear their very kind show notes set the bar way too high! Show notes Unlock the door to e-commerce mastery with our inspiring guest, Kieron James,
Running
Finally got the trainers back on, although I'm still snottier than a snail on a rainy day. This cold really hasn't wanted to budge. Temperature was perfect for running though. Nice breeze (from behind) and around 11 degrees. Would have been nice to see a little more sunshine, but St

Needed that! My usual restorative practice with Melissa Krieger “Oceanside Restorative Yoga.” I always feel super refreshed after this session, although today I fear I may be going down with something. Feeling a little rough.
Running
Wanted to run 34 miles this week but missed Wednesday’s morning run, leaving me with 20 left to do over the weekend. That was a good thing because I had January half marathon in this month’s Strava goals, so seven yesterday and 13.1 today meant I’d
Yoga
Early practice today as we’re heading out after lunch. The temperature is starting to rise. Considered practicing outside, but if anything, it was probably a little warm. Sticking with adding a pose each time and I’ve now reached seated sequence. Prasaritas were a little better today as were
Running
Back to the hills. Challenging route but worth it for the amazing views. The mornings are wonderful because there’s often a light mist at the foot of the hills. Reminds me of Africa (which, thinking about it is probably not much more than 20 miles away as the crow
Yoga
A little more energy for tonight’s practice. Worked through the standing sequence and added my usual Malasana, Supta Vajrasana and Baddha Konsana along with some sit-ups, press-ups and Sirsasana. Felt refreshed.
Running
What a wonderful start to the day. Beautiful blue sky, fresh breeze and a couple of hills. The view from the bridge of Rio Guadiaro was lovely this morning. The water flat and still, a gentle mist at the foot of the mountains in the distance. Loved it. Great to
Running
Oddly, this one felt stronger and faster than it actually was. I’m not sure if that’s a good sign or bad! It‘s a very suburban run along the palm tree-lined, wide avenue of Paseo del Parque, past stunning houses. It has a couple of climbs but is
Yoga
Felt a little more fluid on the mat today. I added one more pose in my quest to get back to a regular “half-primary” practice. That’s my steady effort. I know it’s probably not accepted best practice, but I also like to add a couple of extra poses
Yoga
This photo was taken over the Bay of Biscay from the plane window on the last trip back to London. Although it’s a sunset, it reminds me a little of Dark Side of the Moon. I like the simplicity a lot. But at the same time it’s a
Running
First 2024 target hit today: VO2Max - 47 (Yay!). I aim to get this to 52 during the year. Pretty good running conditions today. Watch said 15 degrees, but it felt a little cooler than that. The moody sky had completely cleared to a wonderful blue by the time I
Yoga
Short practice after a day’s shopping at the sales in Plaza Mayor. Enjoyable, though I struggled with the breathing and vinyasa synchronisation today.
Running
A “step back” week, this week. (At least that’s what I’m telling myself!) Actually, although I had been building the miles over the previous four weeks, it wasn’t a planned step back for recovery. It was really a result of two things: Time: or lack of it,

Another staple in my running ‘diet’ - the Sunday morning Hyde Park 10 miler. It’s a beautiful route any time of the year and Hyde Park highlights the changing colours of the seasons (beaten only by Central Park in autumn in my humble opinion). Today was lovely. the second
