Barns Green 10km – a review

September 24, 2017 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment
10km medal from Barns Green 10km Race

Whilst the Barns Green 10km race is only in its second year, you can tell the Half Marathon event has been running for years (about 35 I think!) as the organisation and event village was pretty darn awesome. I parked easily and the glorious sunshine, rare this September, made it pleasant to walk around the … [Read more…]

Night of the 10,000m PBs

May 24, 2017 by iamtheidiot 2 Comments

How much do you think you would pay to watch seven top class races (at ~30minutes / race that is three and a half hours of quality racing.) Racers include multiple olympians, and championship runners, and concluded with men’s and women’s championship races which would see the top finishers awarded places at the World Championships … [Read more…]

An intriguing track session

May 12, 2015 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment

So, by popular demand – well, Marc asked me – I thought I’d explain an interesting new concept in track running tonight. Normally, we head down to the track on a Tuesday evening and, depending on our focus of shorter or longer races, hammer out a select number of laps with a given rest period. … [Read more…]

Done and Dusted, Now it’s time to move on

January 1, 2015 by iamtheidiot 7 Comments

I suppose, in my short running ‘career’, 2014 will forever be marked in the annals as one that missed the mark completely. Following the 100 mile disappointments of 2013, 2014 plummeted to new lows which were highlighted by a 10 week summer holiday that involved a grand total of just four runs measuring no more … [Read more…]

December 31, 2012 by iamtheidiot 4 Comments

So, many blogs are being released at the moment, looking back at the ups and downs of the last year and reminiscing about what transpired, or perhaps what should have been. Now it is time to produce my version of events. Targets This time last year I set myself a number of targets: 2012 km … [Read more…]

K2 Crawley 10km

September 18, 2012 by iamtheidiot 6 Comments

So, the morning finally arrived, and I woke wondering whether activities from the day before had actually helped or hindered the aims of the day. It was a good day though, so I am definitely not complaining!! For a couple of reasons Mum and Dad were up to visit the area for the weekend and … [Read more…]

A quick update of an ‘easy’ week

February 5, 2012 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment

It’s getting late, I am pretty tired, so this is basically going to be a quick recap of the week. This week’s training was supposed to be ‘easy’ and I had planned a maximum of four runs, but heading into the week I had already decided to squeeze 5 in so that I could continue … [Read more…]
