River Ayr Race – 17th Septmner 2016. Is it just summer I am injured? I must look back my training logs. Nutrition, was as always, Tailwind. Photo from Sandra Hunter. I doubt it, 2 minutes is a lot of time to make up in 4-5 miles after running 35 miles. However, it would have been fun to try. 1st David Mclure 4:57:30. On Ed...

Clyde Stride Ultra – Race Report | The Road is Always Long

The Road is Always Long. My journey through the world of ultra marathons. Clyde Stride Ultra – Race Report. Posted by Boab T. On September 8, 2015. As I approached the Cambuslang bridge, I was aware of someone closing me fast and as I turned around the lad was right on my tail. We had a brief hello and I asked if he was a relay runner, such was his speed! That’s his point he reminds me! I’ve always done a little bit of upper body and core work. Not too much, but enough, I think. This is com...You are com...

The Road is Always Long. My journey through the world of ultra marathons. Monthly Archives: July 2016. Posted by Boab T. On July 22, 2016. Yep, you may have noticed that the acronym is SOD and I am sure that is probably relaying around your head, indeed proceeded by the word bloody or f* kin’ or some other popular adjective! Yep, I’ve had a good going over with ‘The Stick’, bought at NYC Marathon in 2007 🙂. Two Thousand and Seven! Anyway, I’ve gone off at a tangent! Adidas Ultra Boost / ST. Enter your e...

This runner's world: Haddington Half Marathon 2015 - a race report of two halves
http://yakhunter.blogspot.com/2015/08/haddington-half-marathon-2015-race.html
The life and times of Yak Hunter. Saturday, 8 August 2015. Haddington Half Marathon 2015 - a race report of two halves. It's such a long drum roll to the start of the race I thought I might write my report this morning and get it out the way. I'd write something like this. Aileen hared off but I caught her at about 9 miles. She'd decided to ease up to preserve her ropey hamstring. I gave her a pat on the back and stormed home to victory. 10 points! So how did it play out? When I finally got over the line...

This runner's world: Agenda free and Tulsi Tea
http://yakhunter.blogspot.com/2015/05/agenda-free-and-tulsi-tea.html
The life and times of Yak Hunter. Sunday, 17 May 2015. Agenda free and Tulsi Tea. Both of us came to the conclusion it wasn't that great an idea. We've been busy the last 2 weekends so it seemed like a good option to have an agenda-free weekend and relax. Coming close to North Berwick I looked at my watch and realised that there was a chance of catching a train very soon but the timing would be tight. This is a terrible pressure, especially on tired legs. I cranked it up as much as I could, which...Satur...

best part of the day: haddington half
http://bestpartday.blogspot.com/2015/08/haddington-half.html
Best part of the day. Saturday, 8 August 2015. Best photo (out my camera) of the day taken by Willie Jarv. Since he wasn't running I gave him the camera, although he felt he should concentrate on the marshalling and passed it to Michael F who took all of the rest except the last half dozen. Anyway I went into this really just as a prelude to a nice swim in the sea. Favourite for first m50 would be Stuart H (unless they turfed over and gravelled the tarmac.). Which is rather cheeky! All went surprisingly ...
