Sutton 10km

April 4, 2018 by iamtheidiot 1 Comment

I am sat, in the dark, trying to decide whether the baby is waking up and will want a feed or if she’s just trying to imitate as many farmyard animals as she can. As I do so, I just took the chance to look at my calendar and see what’s coming up on the … [Read more…]

accused

March 22, 2018 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment

This week, I was accused of being three things. Running and fatherhood don’t always mix. Here are some bloggers who are proving that doesn’t have to be the case:@edprice7 @jeremywolfRun @russell_runner @SamRunsLDN @cmmercer @therunningdaduk @timsrunworld @3athletedentist @rossidevon pic.twitter.com/uLBtGSm2wa — Jonny Muir (@MuirJonny) March 20, 2018 RUNNER FATHER BLOGGER So far as I can see it, … [Read more…]

2017 – My Running Year

December 22, 2017 by iamtheidiot 1 Comment
Merry Christmas lights

Let’s recap 2017 seemed such a simple collection of tasks when I set my goals for the year. Having sworn off marathons for a few years it was my target to get faster over the shorter distances and aim to set some personal bests along the way. I looked back on a year of marathon … [Read more…]

Intermittent Fasting – One Year On

December 1, 2017 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment

I started Intermittent Fasting on December 1st 2016.  Within hours I was ‘starving’ and glad when the clock rolled around to half past twelve; my sixteen hours were up and I could crack on with stuffing my face. I persevered though, and within a few days it was easy to get through the minimum sixteen … [Read more…]

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…]

A Lack of Fame

August 3, 2017 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment

“FAME! I’m going to live for ever” so sung Irene Cara, but sadly my fame seems not to have taken off just yet! OK, I think it is time to move on from my race win, stop basking in the glory, and get cracking for race number three of 2017. After my triumph at the … [Read more…]

SOAR Summer Mile Training – Week Four in Review

June 27, 2017 by iamtheidiot Leave a Comment

After a bit of a lull since Easter, this past week saw the workload ramp up at school; timed perfectly with the hottest week of the year.  Mix hot weather with my desperate discomfort with standing up and presenting, it was not a particularly enjoyable week at work but it did make for a good … [Read more…]

Paddock Wood Half Marathon

April 10, 2017 by iamtheidiot 1 Comment

I appreciate that it’s a week late, but here is my review of the 2017 Paddock Wood Half Marathon. In short; fantastic course with enthusiastic marshalls and volunteers, a delightful route and a fast finish. In slightly more detail: When looking at races for this year I knew that a half marathon would form part … [Read more…]
