Great Park Run test at Muncaster Castle this morning. 78 runners turned out to test the course and give the volunteers a practice before the official first run in the 16th. Quite a hilly course with spectacular views of the Eskdale valley and Scarfell Pike, it’ll be a hit with the Park Run tourists.

Very happy this week, I managed a 3.5 mile run without any pain for the first time this year. The 8 week rest after marathon training has done me good.
Also excited as on Saturday I will be taking part in the practice run for our new local Park Run at Muncaster Castle. It’s going to be an epic Park Run as Muncaster is an awesome location.

New to Mastodon. I walk, I run, I use nature for therapy and I try to raise awareness of Bipolar in memory of my daughter #runningpunk #veganrunner #bipolarawareness #muddymilesformegs #introductions

I made a Mango Habanero Chilli sauce. The recipe said the sauce would have a medium heat, medium in comparison to the surface of the sun! I hoping it may mellow with time in the fridge.
Further news I did my first run since covid and injury. 2 miles slow pace, my lungs were burning but my HR and legs were good. I plan to do at yoga session after every run as my hip flexors are tight.

It’s been a while. In a nutshell I’ve run a marathon, got injured, went on holiday, then to a festival and caught covid.
So here we are recovered from injury, recovering from covid and hoping to run next week. Hope all is good with you?

10 years after my open heart surgery I’ve got my first marathon done in Edinburgh.
It was quite tough, (who knew Scotland could get so hot) so respect to all the marathoners and great to see so many #veganrunnersuk doing so well.

Marathon week and the eye watering pre marathon massage by an extremely muscular physio is done. Now enjoying a restful week. #veganrunner #running #marathon

So last week’s 18 was struggle from the outset because was mentally unprepared and I didn’t stick my normal routine, l was complacent.
However this week I was back on my A game and smashed the 20 miler. I had more to give at end, the last mile being my fastest.
The lesson here is: Respect the long run.

Nice to run in some decent weather, easy week before 3 weeks of high mileage. Concentrating on rest and recovery and injury avoidance.

Out running early this morning so maxed out on the hi-viz for health and safety. Hoping that the elderly tractor driving farmers would hit me. However a sheepdog did round me up.

Banged out a half marathon this morning as part of my Edinburgh marathon training plan. Knocked 5 mins off my Carlisle half time that I did 2 weeks ago. Well happy with that.

I’ve been a little quiet on socials recently but only due to being so flipping busy.
Carlisle half tomorrow so I’m enjoying a day of carb, protein, fat and tea loading. Scrambled tofu for my second breakfast. Sorry you’re probably sick of seeing my breakfasts.
So hopefully tomorrow goes well, I’m nursing some old man niggles so treating this my long training run and I’ll try and stop myself from being competitive.

Illness update: I’ve been suffering a heavy cold for almost 2 weeks which has wiped out week 1 & 2 of marathon training. The worst of it all is I’ve completely lost my sense of taste and smell. I’m sitting here eating this miso noodle soup and all I can taste is hot chilli. #vegan #veganrunner

Lunch report: Rice noodle soup loaded with ginger, garlic and chilli. Hoping to shift this cold that has put my running on hold.

The plan not to re injure myself seems to be going well, it’s taking discipline to keep the pace down. Focusing on form, pace and relaxing the niggles.
