Running

  • Two 30 km runs on the way to 50 km

    Two early starts, two 30 km runs, and different lessons about rain, darkness, shoes and fuelling as I train for my 50 km ultra.

  • Ten weeks out from my 50 km ultra

    Making room for ultra training around work and family, following a plan, and finding time to think on familiar running loops.

  • How Zwift fits around my running

    My Boardman, a Wahoo trainer and Zwift have given cycling a useful place alongside running. The setup in my study, the music and why an easy ride can be enough.

  • Getting back to running and building towards 50 km

    Returning to running after six months off, building towards a 50 km ultra, and learning what pacing, food and recovery mean on a long run.

  • A working day, with running in between

    An ordinary December workday: a run through Suffolk, a list of jobs, team conversations and a little time to experiment.
