http://andy-bruce.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A blog about endurance racing and sport psychology. Sunday, 24 February 2013. 5km challenge: Week 5 and 6. So I thought it best to leave it a couple of weeks before my next update. The weekly trudge was getting dull. Things have been going well, but still lots to learn. Weeks 5 and 6 were supposed to look like this:. However, because I transferred all these sessions to my handwritten notebook (incorrectly! 1) CHECK THE PLAN! Obviously it better to do the remaining ones correctly though, than compromise t...

Running with the Pack: Run Northumberland Half Marathon - Sunday, 25 April 2012
http://www.sara-runningwiththepack.com/2012/04/run-northumberland-half-marathon-sunday.html
Running with the Pack. One Woman and Her Beagle - Adventures in Canicross. Saturday, 7 April 2012. Run Northumberland Half Marathon - Sunday, 25 April 2012. 9:30 came and went and there were still lots of runners making their way up the hill. They couldn't all have been caught out by the clocks changing, surely? The undulating course continued to meander through several small hamlets one of them being the aptly named "Hartburn". I was quite choked up with a mixture of relief and emotion as I passed them,...

Running with the Pack: Brass Monkey Half Marathon 2012
http://www.sara-runningwiththepack.com/2012/01/brass-monkey-half-marathon.html
Running with the Pack. One Woman and Her Beagle - Adventures in Canicross. Thursday, 26 January 2012. Brass Monkey Half Marathon 2012. This was to be a day of firsts for me. My first proper race, my first half marathon and also my first run representing Blackhill Bounders. The date seemed to approach fast after Christmas and New Year and I felt a little under-prepared, not having stuck to any kind of proper training schedule. Those nagging doubts started to creep in a few days before the race. All in all...

A blog about endurance racing and sport psychology. Thursday, 30 August 2012. Final Preparations - The Gore-tex Transalpine Run 2012. So the final preparations are more or less complete, and somehow, against all odds, Lotte. And I will seem to be on course to toe the start line in Ruhpolding in a 2 days time. Training this year has gone well, more so for myself than Lotte, who was hampered by a couple of issues (back and foot). Transalpine run-in, and predicted run 2012. The photo below is from part of t...

A blog about endurance racing and sport psychology. Saturday, 26 January 2013. 5km Challenge update: Week 2. Well I've heard nothing from Jeremy so far, I can only assume my last couple of posts have him cowering in fear.either way, I've been plugging on with the task at hand. Still yet to see much evidence of others who have said they'd give the challenge a go. To be honest, I can't blame them. Already this week I've started to find the whole process a bit of a chore! So on Monday I did the shorter inte...
