Run note for 2022

(With a bit of walking too.) Didn’t do a run note for 2021 but let’s go again. In short Start of the year aimed for 1,600km. A slow start, things picked up for a steady few months then hit by Covid and heel aggro in July and

Run note for July 2021

By the end of June I had run 71km and was looking forward to the coming weekend, despite being laden with a problem with the Achilles’ tendon in my right leg. I’d had a few days rest and hoped that would help me get going again. It didn’t

Run note for May and June 2021

In my previous run note, two months back on 1 May, I was looking forward to building my running back up again after a long time out with a stress fracture. How have I got on since? May started with some gradual progression building back up, a nice steady day

Run note for April 2021

My last run note was published back at the start of December 2020, five months ago. Towards the end of that note I wrote: >I’ve got my six week check with the physio at the end of this week. My hope then was I’d get the all

Run note for November 2020

In the middle of October I was told to lay off running, to lay off just about anything strenuous on my right leg for six weeks. The detail is in October’s run note. So November has been a waiting game, an observation game, a little trial game. In November

Run note for August, September and October 2020

Patterns for these notes: * I’ve been doing them monthly since early last year * I’d start by telling you where I was up to with my running numbers, coming into the month and leaving the month * There’s a little commentary about some things that happened, tough stuff and

Run note for July 2020

During July I ran 162 kilometres. This brought my total for 2020 to 1138 kilometres. That’s an average of 162 kilometres every month so far, which is weird synchronicity with the distance I ran in July. I have a spreadsheet I keep track of this stuff which you can

Run note for June 2020

After running 218km in May at the start of June I’d run 718km in the year so far. I was aiming to do 300km in June. A bold target after being badly injured a couple of months back, but something that might give me a focus and then some

Run note for May 2020

Coming into the month I felt my leg was better following injury but not best. I’d notched up 94km of running in April, to take my annual total to 500km. Most of that running came in the last three weeks of the month. My leg felt solid enough to

Run note for April 2020

A very long month with all the work on. A very long month not helped with my running hampered, coming into the month in the middle of a three week stint out due to a leg injury. I left last month’s note ending I’d be happy with whatever

Run note for March 2020

What did I set out to do in March? * A target of 210km for March. An average of 6.77km a day. Fine. * Get a couple of rest days in every week, so run at least four days a week, no more than five. That’s roughly means I need
