Running

Ah, the SD is swimmingdunce, but I didn''t think he was on this forum - clearly he's not. We did the 24hr Thunder Run as a pair yesterday - and I fucked up our podium chances with a return of plantar fasciitis - look out for that if you get into ultra, ewanmac.

I want to do AA, but I'm shite in the heat. Looks like a great race.

Colm is fucking quick!

Training-wise, I commute 25km a day on the bike and run on top of that. I'm currently only running about 20km a week, but that will build slowly as I'm working up to the Greensand Marathon in September. I aim to add 10% a week distance to my running, as well as strength training a couple of times a week at Keiser in Mornington Crescent.
Towards the end of the month I'll start doing stair climbs at work in my lunch hour. The bottom level of the car park to the door onto the roof is 38 floors, and I do three times up and down. When I was training for the MDS I did it wearing a fleece top and carrying a daysack full of phonebooks. I got funny looks from people in suits.

It tends to take over your life a bit, but it saves me from having to have a social life.
