Spacebuns Runs!!
There’s a whole contradictory that goes on isn’t there?! There’s a camp of “just keep doing the work,” “consistency will pay dividends”, “just keep showing up” AND then there’s “you can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results” and the “the definition of insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results.” …
Let’s start by setting the scene – what is the Goggins 4x4x48 challenge? It’s a challenge inspired by ex-Navy Seal David Goggins as a running endurance challenge. You undertake a 4 mile run, every 4 hours for 48 hours. Sounds easy on paper?! Well, it does kinda sound like “how bad can it be” although …
What you seek, you will find. Even subconsciously if you’re repeating a dialogue not only will you start to believe what you are telling yourself repeatedly BUT you’ll also search out evidence of it’s truth. It’s confirmation bias. We are looking for the nod that what we believe is true. My dialogue had gone along …
They say you never regret a run!?! I was just thinking about that 🤔 as I decided it wasn’t the right call to run tonight. I’m a little limpy tonight and another day off is better than a regression in the come back. Anyhaps, back to never regretting a run 💭 I was going to …

So, I was 2 blocks down. I’d ran Manchester Marathon twice and neither had necessarily gone absolutely to plan but, as with all marathon blocks, I’d learned a lot. My Dad had ran a Good For Age time which would mean he had a qualification for London Marathon at the 2nd Manchester Marathon I had …
I have a touch of unease as I close of this week. Unease that everything is going v.well and that I’m feeling incredibly fresh. Unease that something might just sneak up on me. I know what the aims for this year are and whilst they remain the front & central target for between now & …
A big question really for an article. Can I (or even should I) do all the things? Again, like so many questions the obvious answer is it depends. We are probably the first generation where there’s been a dialogue about having it all, doing it all and being all the things. It might be that you …
As I sat down to write this I thought “well, my training has been fairly uneventful this week.” It’s been a bit of a week, lots to navigate and lots coming up, lots going on and the likes. In week’s like that training can be such a sanctuary. A time of normality, a time to …
