Running Addiction – My Journey To Fast Times

I love my Vibram FiveFingers and the more I run in them the more I love them. I just love that they are so light and I feel very agile in them. I was running yesterday and took it easy and was running on the road and there were some car ramps, in my Vibrams [...]

In the UK we are supposed to be having a heat wave and today were 28.5. I was due to run 5 ½ miles according to myasics but I missed yesterdays run as I was out all day so never had time to run it, it was only 3 ½ miles so today I decided [...]

I’ve decided to start a running program since I have less than 3 months till the full Robin Hood Marathon. I have used a few programs before and found that it really helps to keep me motivated and to stick to the plan. I’m trying a program by Asics called my.asics.co.uk and I really like [...]

Today I ran a few miles just as a recovery run to help recover from yesterdays 10k run. I also choose my Vibrams since I was going to run at a slow speed and only a few miles which made perfect sense for upping my mileage in the Vibram FiveFingers. I kept my heart rate [...]

Since carrying on doing my runner’s knee exercises I woke up today with no pain or tingling sensations in my knee.(whoop whoop) My run for today was going to be 5 miles in my Vibrams but I decided to run in my Asics Cumulus and tomorrow I will use my Vibrams for my recovery run [...]

Basically from what I’ve picked up from other blogs and forums is that when training for a particular race you should run on the terrain [...]

Hey readers in the last post I mentioned that I would write a post about my Vibram FiveFingers KSO. If you have read anything about barefoot running then you should have heard about the Vibrams by now. If not then just Google Vibram FiveFingers and you will find tons of great resources. I haven’t run [...]

Ok so I started this blog writing about my running journey at the start of the year 2011. But the last few months I got sidetracked and didn’t really write anything. Sorry readers L Well now I’m back and going to keep writing about my running journey and a lot has happened since my 1st [...]

Well as you know this was my 1st half marathon race and I had to travel quite far to get to Kent from Nottingham which was over 200 miles away. I did all the travelling on the Saturday and stayed over at a nice hotel about 10 miles away from Lydd. We managed to get [...]
