Running
Plenty of elevation but the clouds kept it cooler this morning. We are forecast a sunny afternoon and low 30s this week so I’ll be running early and aiming to do yoga before lunch while the mat is still in the shade. Ate gluten yesterday and felt like I

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m now a month into the intermittent fasting, but the two most recent morning runs have felt OK. Sixteen hours without fuel still feels like a long time since fuelling but today my heart rate was lower and although this route
Running
Trying not to run before fuelling, but couldn’t avoid it today. I was keen to head out before the sun got up and needed to be home in time for breakfast, so a short, hilly run fit the bill. Energy levels were not bad, but it felt a little
Running
Very enjoyable run after a chilled weekend. Spent most of it basking in the Spanish sun. A spot of yoga before breakfast and a nice seven miler to round out June. Target for July - five to six half primary yoga practices each week and four runs (Tue, Thu, Sat,
Running
Been running but not blogging. Settling into the new intermittent fasting regime and it feels like my metabolism has now figured out when I’m eating. Sleeping better, not feeling tired and getting used to running at the other end of the day!
Running
Warm. Still 31 degrees according to Carrot weather, though Strava has it at 28. Felt warm and I am definitely still not acclimatised or completely used to the new fasting regime. Feeling lighter and stronger but just hit a “run out of fuel” wall. This evening it was at seven
Running
That’s confirmed. I’d rather have the heat and the hills than run after sixteen hours fasting. Loving the intermittent fasting (two weeks in) and I’m sleeping so much better, but running first thing in the morning when you haven’t eaten since 2pm the previous day is
Running
Completely depleted after the evening commute run and no fuel since 1:30pm yesterday. The intermittent fasting is definitely helping me to sleep better but two runs in no food is a bit stupid. I had planned to get up at six, have breakfast and run at 8:30. it
Running
Run home from the office. Very busy by Farringdon and along The Strand. Dodging commuters for much of the run. Felt stronger than the stats indicate. Not sure if that’s good or bad!
A week of intermittent fasting and definitely feeling stronger and lighter. Dropped a couple of kilos and sleeping much better. I would have preferred to wait another hour to digest lunch but I needed to get out for ‘head’ reasons! Spent the first half of the run burping(!) but after
Running
Up and at ‘em ahead of second day at Money2020 in Amsterdam. Yesterday was a 4am start for a 6am flight. A full day walking around a massive conference centre and then a five mile walk to reccy this morning’s route. Around 30,000 steps and 18 hours awake.
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
Running
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
