Trouble ahead of the Marathon | Run Spud Run!
https://glenntait.co.uk/2015/05/24/trouble-ahead-of-the-marathon
Running, Cycling and Swimming Blog. Trouble ahead of the Marathon. May 24, 2015. Its been 6 weeks since I last ran which as preparation goes for a marathon next week isn’t the best. My last long run had me hobbling when I finished, the last two kilometres I could feel a twinge on the outside of my left foot between the little toe and heel. Cue rest rest and rest. Stress fracture ruled out and peroneal tendons assumed to be the cause, my meal times were accompanied by Ibuprofen. Update: 15:45 post run.

Nice Is Nice not for Triathletes :) | Run Spud Run!
https://glenntait.co.uk/2015/06/27/nice-is-nice-not-for-triathletes
Running, Cycling and Swimming Blog. Nice Is Nice not for Triathletes :). June 27, 2015. If I was in any doubt by the time we’d got on the bus with everyone else due to taxi strikes we were being driven down the Promenade de Anglais which was adorned in Ironman logos. Flights were the big draw and we had eventually found some that would fit in with our schedule and at a price that was sensible. Anyway we settled on Nice to stay for a few days before making our way to Avignon and then the Ardeche. The tria...

Running, Cycling and Swimming Blog. No one does a finish line like Ironman. July 8, 2015. We happened to be in Nice for the Ironman France and what a treat. It brought back amazing memories of endurance and pride from when I did the UK one. My admiration for all participants was made greater for doing an Ironman distance triathlon in the sun and heat of the South of France would have been difficult especially for those Northern European athletes not used to the climate. We stayed until the cut off time a...
