Supershoes
I’ve been playing about with Supershoes to see which I’d run London in this year. The 4 shoes are: NIke Vaporfly3 , Nike Alphafly3, Asics Metaspeed Paris +, Adidas Adios Pro4. I loved the Vaporfly’s when they first came out, running Berlin & Rotterdam in them and went back to them for London in 2022. … Continue reading Supershoes

Valencia 4/12
Week 4 – A 7.5/10 that went down to a 1/10. Injury comes back to plague my treacherous body. I wonder if the cold I suffered last week did enough to tweak muscles & create an environment for my left calf to pull / tear / strain as it did mid June.

Something that I have experienced before, a year ago, a mild tear / strain in my right calf begun to make itself more and more evident. Initially I was … Continue reading Changing tack, The Boston Experiment

Dependent on Yes or No, this then led down a decision tree that has a brief outline of what could follow. The … Continue reading Breathing Mechanics Part 3

Getting into cold water can cover up to 5, which this certainly did: wash with cold water, get out into the fresh air, do something hard, stretch & move and smile & laugh. Unsurprisingly … Continue reading Getting in the sea
