In case any of you are interested in my pretty unremarkable return to Triathlon, I’ve blogged again.. 🤣🤣 “And it all went swimmingly” philcollard1290.wordpress.com Any shares greatly appreciated #Triathlon #OpenWaterSwimming

I am technically still signed-up to a local 10K race that has been postponed 3 times already and still no idea when/if it's gonna happen. That makes it a little tricky to plan my training around it. Maybe I should shop around for a race with a date attached to it...

Sadly at 1733 tonight Matthew Pullan died of his awful disease which he faced with dignity and determination. He's gone to join his Mum who's birthday would have been tomorrow Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported him through this part of his life

I started running again, on my treadmill. I tell myself it's quicker and more practical than running outside, but part of the reason for it is that I don't like being seen outside with sport clothes that fitted better 10 kilos ago. Funny, it didn't bother me when I first started

Cancer will kill me. If me running helps stop it from killing just one child, then I’ll keep running. RT, Like, share and donate to help fight back against childhood cancers uk.virginmoneygiving.com/johnsoc1 ❤️

#UK folks, what's wrong with this picture? #covid19

One year ago today, I began my descent into the living hell of long covid. Here's a brutally honest report card on how I've coped so far with my "athlete's mindset." 8020endurance.com/what-if-there-…

Is it wrong that the part I like most about running in the evening is not the running itself, but the getting to bed right after a shower, while all my body is still slightly aching from the effort? #running

I'm going running tonight. I don't *want* to go running tonight, what I want, really, is to be a runner again. I want to fall in love with it again. I might report back in a bit #running

Running to lose weight is not a good enough reason for me. I need to want to improve from whatever level I'm at to stick to it. On the plus side, I lost so much fitness that progress should not be too hard to achieve 😉

I've just learned that the sky race that turned me from a jogger into a runner 2 yrs ago, that never happened for me because of COVID, is resuming next year, 7 months from now... I pour so much energies to prepare for it back then, why do I want to put myself though that again?

Last time I posted in here it was called Twitter and people were nice to me. I hope some things never change.

Anyway, I completed the first week of the GetRunning app (Android couch potato to 5k app). That's the brilliant app that got me into running a few years ago, I hope it can do that again.

Be hard on yourself when it comes to consistency. Be easy on yourself when it comes to intensity. Most athletes have it in reverse.

When you don't know what's "realistic," you attempt to do big, bold things. And sometimes, you win because you didn't know you were supposed to lose! - @justinwelsh
