Past races and times. 2014 the Big 40 updated 04/14. All posts by Reallyarunner. April 20, 2015. It’s fair to say I’m having taper traumas. I know it’s normal and I’m not on my own but it’s still a funny couple of weeks. I only ran 18 miles over 3 runs this week, so that doesn’t help. I took 3 consecutive rest days to help my knees but after 6 miles yesterday they were just the same. I feel deflated. Roll on Sunday so I can get back to my jolly self again…. View all 3 comments.

Two weeks to go… | Really a runner
https://reallyarunner.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/two-weeks-to-go
Past races and times. 2014 the Big 40 updated 04/14. Two weeks to go…. April 9, 2015. So pretty much all the hard work is done now. I’ve ran about 540 miles in the last 14 weeks, got lost up a mountain (big hill) and actually ran 7 miles on a treadmill, now there’s an hour of my life I won’t get back. Oh, and listened to the same playlists over and over and over. I managed the last 6 miles at marathon pace or quicker which amazes me really considering how much it hurt. So in the meantime I will continue ...

Born in 1974, the year of the Tiger …. Raaar. I wanted to set myself a big challenge, I toyed with an ultra marathon, 40 races, 40 miles a week, 40 this 40 that but do you know what? I really want to do the London Marathon again, hopefully next year, but I don’t particularly want to run a marathon this year. I’m j...Now I know I ...

About me | Really a runner
https://reallyarunner.wordpress.com/83-2
Past races and times. 2014 the Big 40 updated 04/14. My name is Sarah, I live just a stones throw from here on the edge of the Peak District. About 4 years ago I started running as way of losing weight, with that and a strict diet I did just that. Now almost 5 stone lighter I have an absolute passion for running, It has given me much more than just a smaller waist. Sadly I am not a member of a running club, I would love to be but simply don’t have the evenings free to go. 4 thoughts on “ About me. Http:/...

Marathon training round 3 | Really a runner
https://reallyarunner.wordpress.com/2015/03/01/marathon-training-round-3
Past races and times. 2014 the Big 40 updated 04/14. Marathon training round 3. March 1, 2015. I haven’t blogged much lately, to be honest I have nothing to say that I think anyone wants to read. Apart from the getting lost incident, I should have written that down for future reference, the moment has passed now though. But I do want to at least write something about marathon training for the third time. Because I run alone I have far too much time to think…. There are two reason I think for this. I can&...

Janathon day 27 & 28 | Really a runner
https://reallyarunner.wordpress.com/2015/01/28/janathon-day-27-28
Past races and times. 2014 the Big 40 updated 04/14. Janathon day 27 & 28. January 28, 2015. It’s a good job I’m a hardy Northerner because it was grim out there today. I took another day off yesterday, it seemed like the sensible thing to do. There is a metal bridge crossing at the end of the reservoirs, it’s a wind tunnel even on a lovely day but today it was ridiculous, I almost got blown off it but stopped to take pictures anyway. Yesterday 0 miles but outplanked my 11 year old if that counts. Create...
