Getting all the events in early this year with the summer season coming up. So a busy 7 days last week, with the infamous Looe 10 and it's 1600ft of elevation in 10 miles, followed by the lumpy Cardinham 10k (nearer 11k!) run by the awesome I stuck a recovery run or two in between...which in this part of Cornwall involve only hills and ended up with...sore legs.
Both local events that are a must do for everyone next year. Especially Looe 10's hill profile!
Next, the duathlon which should be a great craic despite the lack of bike prep!

Standby for some insightful analysis on the Looe 10 miler (and a bit!). It really does have quite a lot of very steep hills...you're welcome! Now watch the pace column on the left, from 10 plus uphill to 5's down the other side!
Great event though and awesome volunteers.
Massive well done to my Run clients who smashed it up there today too 👏👏

Hilly course conditioning:
Today was about working on trying to keep the HR consistent whilst running a very hilly route...ideally not consistently the the roof! It was just over 8 miles with over 700ft of climbing, so it was definitely a lumpy run and most of the elevation is in the first 5.5 miles 🥴 The aim is to essentially achieve a balance of running the hill hard but consistently (especially as a couple of the hills were over a mile long...Cheers Cornwall), keeping the HR up, but not peaking so you can run off the top is key. Then on any descents you have to push to maintain that HR for a consistent output. Today went ok, you can see the graph overlay on the next slide. It climbs quickly to begin with, due to starting up the first mile climb out the door! Then it does drop slightly and mainly plateau, apart from an unscheduled p*e stop when it dropped fairly rapidly!
After recently lactate and VO2 testing at (I'll post about that soon) I have some new accurate data that I'm transferring into training to see if I can get this carcass moving a little quicker!
The motto is, get out and run the hills, it's good for you, honest!

Some day!

17/09/2025

It was a great day yesterday, with my first ride of the year (this year has been all about running!). I joined on the last leg of his epic John o'Groats to Lands End ride in 9 days for a charity close to his heart
I was only going to do an hour or so, but as the ride went on and he distracted me with chat and .uk bars, we suddenly ended up at Lands end! Well done mate, awesome effort and great to see so many family and friends out on the route!

Excited to announce that we'll be at the Plymouth half marathon, 10k, 5k and schools challenge this year. But this time I won't be running, I'll be at the finish line with all the gear ready to help you recover and I'll be joined by the one and only OG janner .x but sadly no Bear🤣

11/11/2024

Now the site is shut and it's back to running clinics, we can get away for some exotic holidays. Holiday one was this weekend...Plymouth 🥴🤣
-
Great to get the Plymouth girl up the tors though .x 🤣

Another year on and it's back to my local race, the Cornish marathon. Cornwall's only all road marathon, and there might be a reason for that! Cornwall ain't flat! 2200ft of climbing around the lanes and lakes of east Cornwall
-
It's a must do event, it's not one of the famous marathons around the world, it's definitely not a PB race either! But it's really well organised AND you get a hoody, medal and pasty which beats just about every other race I have ever done!
-
It's also out of season so you fill a November Sunday with a serious challenge!

30/10/2024

Sessions on offer:
- Sports massage
