About Me

Was a sprinter and jumper in my youth (former junior county long jump champion - but only when the really good bloke didn't turn up).

Took up 'proper' running in 2007 as insurance against some unpromising cardio-vascular family history. Got the bug in 2008, and joined Biggleswade Athletic Club. Steadily improved over a few years, but struggle to fit consistent training in with work commitments (long hours and long commute), family life and other interests - and now the lure of ever longer ultras is stronger than working on getting my road PBs down.

2010 brought a disappointing VLM (a first attempt - and lots to learn), club V40 long and triple jump records, and 14th in the UK V40 rankings for triple jump. 2011 was slightly redemptive in bringing a much more enjoyable trail marathon, and an unexpected HM PB. 2012 brought a first (and almost certainly last) race win in the Bedford Clanger trail marathon, and my first ultra. And 2013 saw a sub-24hr 100 miler. 2014 brought another 100 miler - but much tougher, together with some orienteering and running club silverware. 2015 saw a second (and simultaneously last) place at the 133 miles Chiltern Way ultra.

Upped the distance with the GUCR in 2016 and K

4m, 35:00 Running - General Was feeling on a bit of a roll at the end of last week, with a good week of running, and a dip in my resting heart rate. This week feels not so much a plateau as a slump. Binned the planned longer run, and instead recced the final bit of Route 51 into the Campus to save faffing with a map if and when I do it on the bike. Add a comment	-	25m, 2:15:00 Cycling - Commuting First go at cycling into work in MK. The stiff breeze made it quite hard, and I'd forgotten: a) Quite how much faffing there was with chicanes etc. on the cycle path b) What I remembered as a short sharp hill into Cranfield actually goes on for about four miles. There was also a bit of unnecessary faffing with the cycle route through Kempston, where it would have been easier just to stick to the road. And very cold first thing - fingers and toes are still a bit numb. At least a following wind tonight! 26th Apr 2018, 4:33pm Rosehip wrote: Hope the promised tail wind doesn't drop any wet stuff! 26th Apr 2018, 4:47pm EdJ wrote: Hmmm... watching the weather through the day, the probability of rain seems to be going up, and the wind strength going down.

A few spots of rain, but far worse were the clouds of insects through Bedford and along the cycle track. 26th Apr 2018, 8:46pm Rosehip wrote: :) Add a comment	4.8m, 48:58 Running - Recovery Run Gentle potter round Caldecotte Lakes in the chilly drizzle.

4.7m, 41:06 Running - General Annoyed at finishing last month on 99 miles thanks to Mr Sanders... Although legs felt a bit fresher this morning - as did my hands with it only being 1 degree. WSW run, down to the lake and back up via the canal. Hand amended GPX file so it hopefully can be ingested properly. Add a comment	4.9m, 41:57 Running - General More WSW optimisation. Felt a bit of a cheat doing it with an orienteering map! Add a comment	24.5m, 1:50:00 Cycling - Commuting Somewhat more satisfactory than last week, with two pairs of gloves meaning my hands weren't quite as cold, and picking a better route through Kempston. Still bloody hard work up the Col de Cranfield. 3rd May 2018, 7:27am Rosehip wrote: :) much more like commuting weather this morning. Still think you're mad! :) Add a comment 24.5m, 1:42:00 Cycling - Commuting Will be interesting to see how soon my commuting times plateau, and a PB becomes all about timing it well with the traffic lights. Add a comment	4m, 39:09 Running - Recovery Run Tired legs today! Add a comment	8.5m, 40:00 Cycling - General Cycle into school to help set up for ball Add a comment	6m, 56:29 Running - Orienteering Helping out at the bar at the school ball last night, so a 3am bedtime and quite a physical 9 hour shift before then. So a bit sluggish this morning! Add a comment	-

5.1m, 39:45 Running - Intervals It's Tuesday, so it's Ouzel Valley Intervals. Pleased with a negative split today, and worked hard at the end for it - although probably helped by the fact that it took me a while to get going. Three minute PB for this route - which I'm also pleased about. 15th May 2018, 9:51am Rosehip wrote: excellent :) Add a comment 24.5m, 1:45:00 Cycling - Commuting Northerly wind today - which made this quite tough.
