I once said "I can't" to an Army PTI. His reply: "But you're still standing so there can't be a problem with your legs" He then smiled, "Your mind will always quit before your body does... Everyone! Bittles has just added 2 extra miles to the run! Lets go!"๐Ÿฅต #running #ukrunchat


First run over 10.25mi this year. Good to be back on the distance stuff, speed work is coming along but today I just wanted to switch off and cruise... 13.1mi just because. #HalfForALaugh #garmin #ukrunchat #running #OldManStillGotIt ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ˜ŽYesterday's 'target' beaten ๐Ÿ˜‰ (See prev post). Bit of a recon, today. Wanted to check the route between Clifton & Redland to try & race a train. That small section I did in 6min at only a slightly faster pace. I need 4min to beat the train. It is do-able! #ukrunchat #running

Ran 10 yesterday, binned it after 5 today! That's the way it goes sometimes, you just can't get into it. Advice to new runners, we all have off days. Don't see it as a bad run tho, more setting the target to beat on your next run ๐Ÿ‘ Until next time ๐Ÿ˜‰ #garmin #ukrunchat #running

The world looks odd when it ain't dark... A rare daylight run but a #TenFromLen none the less. ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž #garmin #ukrunchat #running

Hating the speed training but then I'm not used to it, I will progress tho. I have a train and a bus to race at some point this year... But for today, I switched back into 'Cruise Control' mode for a sweet lil #TenFromLenโ„ข #garmin #ukrunchat #running

2023 was about distance, 2024 I'm gonna focus on speed, maybe return to racing that train to see if I can beat it this time. Had a spare 40mins today, figured I'd hit it hard to see where I'm at. To quote Toby Keith: "I ain't as good as I once was". #ukrunchat #runnning #garmin

A lul in the storm this morning gave me a chance to score a #TenFromLen ๐Ÿ˜ƒ High winds were fun tho. This afternoon out in the weather again for a nice chase around the local park with the Hound ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ• #garmin #running #ukrunchat

03.22 in the morning... -5ยฐ ... 6.5mi was enough. ๐Ÿฅถโ„๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„ Wow, it was chilly. #garmin #ukrunchat #running

-2ยฐ, 2 base layers and a #HalfForALaugh Cold one, this morning, but I got the job done, was fine after the first couple miles. Sometimes the hardest part of a run is stepping out of the front door ๐Ÿฅถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿฅถ #garmin #running #ukrunchat

At it again at 'silly-o'clock' this morning for a cool 10er. ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž #TenFromLen #garmin #ukrunchat #running

โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฅถโ„๏ธ A chilled out and, err... 'Chilled' 6'er in the early hours this morning. Bit sketchy underfoot in places but I managed to stay upright, thankfully ๐Ÿ‘. ๐Ÿ˜‰ #garmin #ukrunchat #running

First 10 Tonner of the year... "That's a Ten from Len", is what I say to myself every time the #garmin beeps for 10 miles. Gone but not forgotten, rest his soul. How many of you are now gonna start saying his catchphrase on your next 'One-Zero'? ๐Ÿ˜œ #ukrunchat #running #runchat

NYr celebrations + fireworks going on until at least 02.00 this morning. Couldn't sleep with all that going on so decided to see in 2024 by dropping an 8-bomb at 3am. ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž #garmin #ukrunchat #running #HappyNewYear2024

And that's it for 2023. 2024 will not be as big in miles but will have bigger/harder challenges set. HNY to all you runners! Best of luck to those about to take it up from tomorrow, stick at it, y'all. We've all been there.๐Ÿ’ช #ukrunchat #running #NewYearResolution2024

December #Marathon done. That's 1 x 26er for every month of 2023, just what I set out to do 1 year ago at the end of 2022. Well happy with that ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Question is, do I go again for 2024? #12months12marathons #ukrunchat #running

#12Months12Marathons 1x 26er for each month in 2023. Today was November's turn... Marathon No #11. 1 more to go in December and the job is complete. ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜Ž #ukrunchat #garmin #running
