My daughter is allergic to exercise 😂

Dunno about that, countryside running is more scary I think!

My daughter loves silent hill, perhaps I can use that as an excuse to get her to do some exercise (sure it won't work). 😂

Never done the Oxford half, done a few runs down that way. Might be one for me to try and do at some point.

I think sometimes you need to push yourself, but I think it's perfectly fine to have a week off. Especially for us older and unfitter folk :D

Running in fog is brill but also a little bit creepy :)

Been a while since I've done a half marathon, maybe next month.

That looks ace! Seems more interesting than my run around housing estates and a park.

This is what motivates me to run/walk/excercise. Seeing places like this, nice one!

Who needs to go running when doing DIY is so hard!

5 runs last month (12 miles), now have to push on through cold weather, strong winds, darkness and rain to do better. Have 10 months until my 100 miler and my longest run is 4 miles in the last few months. I am such an idiot :D

Was able to do a four mile run today. That’s 5 runs for the month. Just looking back, I’ve been rubbish for a long time. Hope I can keep going.

I got reminded that it had been a long while since I last run when my wife saw me with running gear on and turned around and said, “I thought you’d given up running” 😂

2 miles done better than nothing I suppose.

One of the hottest days of the year so why not do a 62 mile event across an unshaded ridgeway. LivingTheDream. No running all just slow walking so it’ll be even longer haha 😜

Been weeks since I last run, just not felt it since the colonoscopy, I feel overweight and even less motivated than I did before. About 50 days until I have to do a 70 mile ultra, and next month I have a half marathon, what a disaster is upcoming!

Been another rubbish week for running, had a 2nd colonoscopy earlier in the week, ran 2 miles yesterday, but that might have been a bad idea, stomach discomfort. Oh well signed up to a 100 mile ultra next year.... crazy days.

Thanks, I’m hard on myself but just want to improve, but hopefully disappointment leads to motivation (I so hope so 😂)

Did the #Brentwood half marathon the weekend. Slowest half marathon for 8 years. Very depressing. I took 3 weeks off running and it was like starting from the beginning. The older I get the harder it is to retain fitness. Oh well! #running #halfmarathon #ultra

Was meant to do a running event today, but have had such a down and tiring week, I decided last night to not bother. I hate these running ups and downs. It's hard enough to get motivated as it is.

No running for the last few days, but I did go up 270 odd steps at Yorkminster Cathedral yesterday and got some free legwork exercise whilst sightseeing! I did better than expected!

8 mile run yesterday, and 4 mile run today. Slowly getting there. Nice to see even when I feel a bit out of breath the heart rate is still OK.

wow super fast, well done!

Great time!

Looks a bit muddy out there. Thinking of doing a trail run next month, but thinking I'd like a bit more dry weather first.

This is where my headspace is right now, go for a run to be able to ignore the rest of the world.

Good luck on the Brighton half, the weather looks pleasant.

Last month I finally got over 50 miles for the month, OK the 3 half marathons I did helped 😂 but thats the most I've done since July 2024, and in that month I did a 62 mile event. Just need to keep it going into March with miles and runs. Have two runs booked so far. #running #ultra #10k #fitness

First time I can recall that I've had it. But I'll be moaning about the warmth when spring arrives. 😀

Thanks! Slowly getting there.

After running today, two of my fingers were bright white and the rest were red from the cold. Apparently I had Raynaud’s Phenomenon, its amazing what you learn about your body in the course of running.

This doesn't look safe at all.

Another half marathon event completed. 3 in 3 weeks. I thought I had done rubbish but made it to 10 miles before having to walk & run. Also this is a fast course so was faster in the first 6. Glad it's over, can have a bit of event rest until March now. Slowly getting faster.
