    Well I may be on an indefinite break, something just went on the bottom of my calf. Off to the physio I go.

    Ran 28km yesterday but meant to do 32km again but fell short. Ran outta juice. I made the error of trying to go a little faster earlier in the run and it caught up with me by the end and I was cocky going into it because I had completed the run a week before. Felt great for about 20km again...

    Longer hopefully. I run first thing in the morning about 5.30am so like to fuel up the night before the long runs. Alot of the journey has been an experiment to find what works. Last night I ate a normal dinner with minimal carbs and really struggled today plus probably didn't hydrate enough...

    16km @ 6:15/km Was meant to run 20km today but had only 1 gel so I stretched it out to 10km before I took it then my legs went empty at about 15km.

    32km @ 6.56/km BW: 103.4kg So I've just hit the peak of the training cycle. Well have to do this same run next week as well but for me this was a huge mental and physical victory. I'm only another 10km's from a marathon. I adjusted the gels and took them at 6km intervals and felt great and the...

    12km @ 6.50/km Intentionally went slower today preparing for tomorrows big 32km run. This week and next week are the peak of the training cycle then everything starts to taper off. Being a larger fellow I'm obviously slower but the runs aren't that hard for the majority. A lot of my smaller...

    Melbourne Marathon

    I went back out again. 18km @ 6.44/km I intentionally went even slower, plus my calves were killing from the first step. I've learnt that I have developed an ego running which is quite ridiculous really but when going on a long run I pretty much get overtaken by everyone and that includes the...

    Melbourne Marathon

    Yesterday ran 24km @ 6.28/km I think yesterday was the first day I started having doubts. I did manority of the run ok but struggled again the last few km's but the fact that I've only reached half the the distance and how I feel afterwards has me wondering how on earth I'm going to finish the...

    Melbourne Marathon

    16km @ 6.03/km. BW = 102.7kg Today I discovered gels. Every run I have done has been around 5.30 in the morning and on an empty stomach. Spoke to a running guru at work here and had a gel 15 mins prior to running and one about 45 mins into the run. Was definitely able to keep a better pace...

    Melbourne Marathon

    Ran 20km today @ 6.25/km. I found the wall today but was around the 17km mark so convinced the legs to keep taking the extra step. I was feeling really good around the 10km mark and made the mistake of cruising a little faster than I should. I got caught up in the middle of one of those park...
