Today’s rest day couldn’t have come at a better time. With this lingering cold and some restless nights catching up with me, a day off is exactly what I needed. Rest days are more than just a break—they’re essential for recovery, especially with back-to-back medium and long runs coming up. They give your body a Read more

Once again, I set off too fast on this run and found myself pushed to my absolute limit by the end. While I’m thrilled with my time—it’s the fastest 5km I’ve run in ages—this was supposed to be a recovery run, not a personal best attempt! Recovery runs are crucial because they help your body Read more

Getting started today was a real battle, especially with barely any sleep to back me up. But once I found my rhythm, the run actually felt pretty decent. I might have pushed the pace a bit too much though—caught myself chasing the distance again and was completely spent at the end. Also, I really need Read more

Today was meant to be a rest day, but my schedule had other plans—a 5km run was on the agenda. I gave my legs some extra recovery time after yesterday’s long run by waiting until the afternoon to lace up. This time, I made a point of fueling up properly and staying hydrated before starting Read more

10 miles/16.1km in 1:39:56 incline 1% Today was the day to push myself further than I’ve run in years. Unfortunately, I was still battling a lingering cold, which made things tough from the start. By the final 3km, I had to switch to a run-walk strategy, thanks to a combination of challenges: the cold sapping Read more

Today was a hectic day, so I had to move my run to tomorrow. Since it will be my longest distance in a while, it’s been weighing heavily on my mind. I’m working on finding ways to fully disconnect and relax on my rest days. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I’ll have it down Read more

5 miles/8.1km in 47:25 on the treadmill 1% incline Didn’t get much sleep last night, but I got it done—and no need for run/walk intervals this time! 💪🏼 Started with a steady pace for the first 6km, then gradually picked it up for the last 2.1km. Running at a slower pace felt manageable, though ideally, Read more

I considered going for a short run today but reminded myself that I still have two runs scheduled for later this week. Rest days are often underestimated, yet they’re essential for giving your body and mind the chance to recover. In the past, I’ve overlooked their importance, and it’s led to overuse injuries.

5km 28:15 on the treadmill @ 1% incline. How longs left? How long will it take me to finish? Are we nearly there yet? 🤣 These were the constant questions going on in my head so it felt like I’m chasing the distance rather than just enjoying the run. With time these questions will go Read more

This didn’t quite go to plan unfortunately. Still got the distance in but from the 5km mark I ran walked the remaining 3.1km. My head got the better of me this time and not being helped by the inability to breathe properly whilst also having to blow my nose every few minutes 🤧. I felt Read more
