15th time lucky?……. Nope! No place in the London Marathon ballot for me again.

Well Dartmoor truly threw everything at me today on my last long trading run before my 100 miler. Sun, wind, rain, hail (horizontal) but as always, so much beauty. I’m very lucky to call this my home patch. #yourweekendruns Running Commentary Big congrats to Rob Deering .100k done.

Interesting listening to the latest Running Commentary . Rob Deering extremely detailed account of #rttk Question for Rob. Do you think that your difficulty eating may have been less of a problem if you’d eaten sooner? Genuine Q, not a criticism as I often struggle with solids too!

So that’s it, last long training run done. Hopefully in exactly 2 weeks from now I’ll have completed my first 100 mile ultra and will be finding my way home from Edinburgh. Taper and carb loading now: the best bit! Running Commentary #YourWeekendRuns

I’ve just done my second easy run of the taper and it’s all starting to make good sense. I’m already feeling strong and sharp. 9 days to go to the big one! #ratracecastletocastle100 Running Commentary

Short loosener today. 6 days until the big 100 miler then I’ll shut up about it I promise! Will be saving this weeks Running Commentary to listen to during the race so a little mention might help if that’s not too needy?! #yourweekendruns #ratracecastletocastle100

Do I get a claxon Running Commentary . 25:48:29 my pb for 100 miles. Currently looking like it’s never to be beaten! #yourweekendruns #Arrrrrrroooooogggaahhh #ratracecastletocastle100

My 100 mile race results are in: 535 started I finished 39th. That’s not too bad for an old gimmer is it?! I think there were about 200 DNFs. #ratracecastletocastle100

My first run as a 50 year old. Still feeling the tiredness from the 100 a month on. Need to get into 1/2 marathon mode for Torbay next month. Running Commentary #yourweekendruns

Britain does not have an immigration problem. Britain has a racism problem. RT if you agree.

It’s not going to be super quick but looking forward to a bit of a race at the #Torbayhalfmarathon tomorrow. Excited to try out the new shoes Nike Running Commentary

Nice day for a race!! #torbayhalfmarathon Running Commentary

Just destroyed my first portaloo.

From the high of a PB to the low of an injury within one week. Nothing too serious, but a little bit of rest required. No #yourweekendruns for me. Thanks for the mention Running Commentary cheered me up no end.

3 weeks, no running. KG’s added and feeling like shite. Injuries are very rubbish aren’t they. Running Commentary episodes backing up too as I can’t bring myself to listen to them while not running.

I’ve been for a run. Crikey that feels good!! Running Commentary
