Ian Walker’s blog. Road safety, transport, ultrarunning and astronomy. Where else will you find this mix? Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Cotswold Way Century Race Report. Just shouldn't be this hard. It's the Cotswolds for goodness' sake. The Cotswolds are tea and scones, sheep and honey-coloured villages - everyone knows that. These aren't the Alps or the Dolomites. But for some reason, which it seems nobody can quite pin down, the Cotswold Way is hard. The worryingly long bus ride took us to the school in...

The Magic Forest: Athlete's Monkey Feet
http://www.magicforest.co.uk/2015/06/athletes-monkey-feet.html
The trials and tribulations of a [not so] long distance runner living in deepest, darkest Kent. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. It still amazes me that of all the miles I have run in sometimes horrific conditions where my feet have been have been wet through for over 24 hours, pounded through raw silage, stagnant mud or just sweating from a long distance run that I have never suffered from fungal infections. And some medicated talc in my Monkey Feet shoes. 4 June 2015 at 23:45. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Magic Forest: A monkey by any other name would smell as sweet
http://www.magicforest.co.uk/2015/05/a-monkey-by-any-other-name-would-smell.html
The trials and tribulations of a [not so] long distance runner living in deepest, darkest Kent. Monday, 11 May 2015. A monkey by any other name would smell as sweet. My Dear Readers, you may have read in my blog about HEROS. I first became aware of this group about 7 years ago when running with my then trail running partner, George, when we bumped into them on the North Downs Way. The group was full of people I had met before from club runs and races, this was a group with no affiliation.perfect.

Race reports from an accidental ultra runner. NohtaraM ehT. Or, the anti-race. Bong, bong, bong, bong, and we’re off! It’s just gone 4am and the official unofficial London marathon is underway. I’m in a group of about 30 people,. Tapping out a nice 8m/m pace, and tracing the marathon route in reverse. The plan is to finish in Greenwich just in time to catch the crowds and wish them luck as they embark on the actual race. A little part of me still thought this was some elaborate practical joke (though qui...

The Imber Ultra Marathon is a trail run of approximately 33 miles. It starts at the Leighton Recreation Centre in the town of Westbury at the north west of the Imber Ranges. Over the first couple of miles runners ascend the escarpment of Salisbury Plain, then follow the Imber Range Perimeter Path in an anti clockwise direction. This feeling stayed with me (periodic ch...

Chicken Running: May 2014
http://lejog2014.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a distance runner in a chicken suit. Tuesday, 20 May 2014. Back to life, back to reality. Well, it's been a while since the last post. Like far too long. The reason being that I managed to pretty well knacker up my knee joint for a variety of reasons, which meant 6 weeks out from any running or walking any more than a mile or so. But on the positive side I did get to spend a lot of time with The Mrs, who wondered who I was at first. That's the joys of being an Ultra Widow. Gave it a real try...

The Magic Forest: No GUCR 2015 but a new start
http://www.magicforest.co.uk/2015/04/no-gucr-2015-but-new-start.html
The trials and tribulations of a [not so] long distance runner living in deepest, darkest Kent. Wednesday, 29 April 2015. No GUCR 2015 but a new start. And so with the completion of the Hanover Marathon last week I have to look to the future and what is on the cards for me. I have however decided to do one last long ultramarathon later this year which I do not want to say too much about now but will do when I have confirmation that my entry has been accepted. The Monkey Feet are back in town.
