About Me | |
---|---|
I started running in July 2004 to train for my first ever race, the Bristol Half Marathon. Since then I have run for 2 running clubs, I changed clubs with the hope of making some big improvements over the next few years. After trying my hands at virtually every distance from 800m up to half marathon over the course of about 3 years, I've discovered I quite like the shorter stuff.
At the start of 2008, I decided to switch to 800m/1500m and changed my training to target those distances. In my first track season, I managed to get my 800m PB down from 2:16 to 2:09 and 1500m PB from 4:51 to 4:29. I make YouTube videos about running, you can view my channel at youtube.com/craigbridges Show More...

Recording a treadmill interval session for my channel along the Two Tunnels cycle track from Wellow. The session was a 10ish minute jog warm-up, 10 x 1 minute on/off and then a 10ish minute jog cool down. My hamstring/achilles didn't feel as bad as Wednesday, but still sore and I could feel it by the end. The dynamic drills in the warm-up helped.

Some light running around Norton Park while Tyler was at theatre group, with lots of dynamic running drills to help with my mobility. Muscles felt very tight and achy today, especially left hamstring.

I was originally planning to run with Paul, but he had to have a last-minute emergency eye exam/surgery. So the plan then changed to doing circuits, but I couldn't do that (Eunice was home and wouldn't let me) so I opted to run outside in the rain. My achilles and hamstring still feel very tight/sore. My legs felt very tired considering how little running I've been doing. I think a big part of that has been the lack of sleep, plus all the cleaning I did in the house yesterday.

Recording a virtual HIIT session around Stockhill Wood after meeting with Ian (Noad) for a drink in Shepton Mallet. It was a rush because I had to pick up Eunice and take her to Radstock, so I rushed the warm-up/cool-down and changed the planned session from 12 x 30-second sprints to 8 instead, so it was more of a beginners HIIT session. Leg wasn't too bad and I think only doing a short session helped because it didn't put too much stress on it.

Recording another virtual HIIT interval session for my channel. The session was 5 x 3 minutes on/off, which I managed to record without any issues. I felt a bit tired by the 3rd rep, but I got through it. I started from Elliots Lane (Frome's missing link section near Great Elm) and headed along Colliers Way out and back.

Recording another virtual HIIT session for Swift Trails, starting from Dundas Aqueduct and heading along the canal towards Bath and back. I did a long warm-up and cool-down, with plenty of drills. Luckily it wasn't too busy, so I had no collisions, only a close save coming under a bridge on the second 3-minute effort. The only annoying thing was the thick, grey clouds covering the sky, making it darker/blander than expected. The session was a pyramid of 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 minute efforts with the same time job recovery - I only walked a bit of the last few recoveries. I found this one tough, especially after the 4-minute effort - felt heavy and tired. I ran past Jeremy Hogan during my second 3-minute effort! That's 4 interval/HIIT sessions recorded for Swift Trails now, hopefully the videos will be a success.

After a terrible start to the day (I drove into the side of an older lady's car while pulling out of Redwood Close), we went to Heaven's Gate. Eunice allowed me to run. I couldn't do the planned hill session at Ammerdown because I had to create a claim on my insurance. I recorded the run for my Swift Trails channel (despite Eunice not wanting me to, but it was a lovely sunny autumn day). I did a 12-minute warm-up, drills and then 10 efforts during a 36-minute run ranging from 30 seconds (mostly around the minute mark) and finishing with a longer 2-minute effort before resting for 5 minutes and then doing a 12-minute cooldown. This one felt quite hard considering I haven't run since Tuesday. My calf's became quite sore too.

Team Thie Circuits #189 - 3 x 25 seconds on/5 seconds off for each exercise, continues all the way through. I struggled tonight, mainly I think because I ate a heavy meal just 2 hours earlier. So did pause the video a few times for a longer rest.

Temp run along cycle track towards Thicket Mead and back in the dark using my head torch, MP3 player and watch to get me though.

Warm up and cool down for tempo run along cycle track. For the first time in the 27 or so years of living in this area I discovered there is a public footpath that goes from Somervale Road straight up to Wells Road! So I tried it out on the way back home. Felt tired and sore warming up, my left achilles was especially sore/inflamed.

Decided against trying to do an interval session in the end because a) it was sunny and wanted to capture a virtual run (Whitehall loop seemed most logical due to lack of time/daylight) and b) I felt tired and had not recovered from Tuesday's tempo run. I struggled my way around this (did moreless the same loop as the summer version, except started in a different place. It was sunny for the first 2 or so miles then annoyingly cloud came over and it was cast over the rest of the run. I decided to keep recording anyway and since it was Halloween realised I could turn the last half of the run into a spooky Halloween virtual run (which I did!).

Walking/exploring around Ebbor Gorge with mum, dad, Eunice and Tyler (their first time). We managed to get to the top and see the nice view despite not having appropriate walking shoes. Dad fell (twice in the same spot) on the way down, going back to the car, otherwise, he did pretty well considering how he would have coped a few months ago.

Jogging around Norton Town Park and batch (15 times around the top loop) while Tyler was at theatre group. My legs felt stiff, tired, heavy and very achy, which surprised me after having 3 days of rest (apart from the walk around Ebbor Gorge yesterday).

Recording a 'Zombie' Fartlek virtual run around Asham Wood on a bleak, cast over and slightly foggy day. My legs weren't feeling amazing, but better than yesterday. I didn't really warm up properly (just did Frankinstein and pointers) and did 8 efforts of around 1 to 2.5 minutes each.
