190 MILES ON FOOT (SELF-SUPPORTED) IN UNDER 3 DAYS Wainwright’s Coast to Coast is one of the most popular walking routes in the UK, and soon to be given National Trail status. The 190 miles crosses over three National Parks: The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.  The first time I had crossed the C2C was with my brother, in 2008.  We’d hiked and camped it over two weeks.  I absolutely loved the route, and in 2013 I decided to test myself with a 4-day crossing.  I ran during the day, and took various forms of accommodation each night.&nb ..read more

I’ve pretty much spent the whole of the off-season training and racing on Zwift. It’s something I’ve grown to really enjoy over the last 18 months and as my body has adapted to the shorter, punchier races, I’ve become a lot more proficient at it. I joined the BRT (Bolt Race Team) last year which made the eracing experience a lot more fun and interesting, and even offered the opportunity to compete in an event with cash prizes. Competing at a higher level with the A-cat BRT team also improved my overall Zwift race ranking (effectively your erace world ranking), to around 150 at its peak in Autu ..read more

Been a while since I’ve updated the blog. I talked before about this being a new period of training and racing for me after a few years of unstructured training. I’ve been trying to hold 10hr/week training and competing in shorter races, up to 10km running and multi-discipline. I’ve also talked up Zwift and ecycling, which I have become a big fan of in recent months. I’ve been focusing a little more on my strength and short-end power, while trying to maintain weight (shifting some fat to muscle). This has been difficult as I like to snack in the evening and I don’t have a lot of fat to play wi ..read more

In the last two months I’ve seen some improvement in the Achilles. It’s still stiff in the morning and sore to pinch (especially after running) but I no longer have the acute pain I was experiencing after tempo runs that would leave me limping. Saying that, I havn’t done a lot of running. But I have done a couple of Parkrun ‘tests’ in recent weeks. The first building effort over the 5km, and the second more optimal. Both left me with some soreness but I was OK the following day. The 5km times were actually not bad and on a par with my times from this time last year (pre tendonitis). I’m told t ..read more
