Fat Girl to Ironman. Training for the second York Marathon, one day at a time. And…I’m out! October 8, 2014. I’m doing the marathon. I’m not doing the marathon. I’m doing the marathon. I’m not doing the marathon. This has been one of the most flip flop decisions of my life and now it’s been taken out of my hands, I’m heartbroken. I’ve been living on cold and flu remedies and getting no sleep. I haven’t run for a week and a half so the decision is in. I’m not running the marathon. August 20, 2014. After m...

Fat Girl to Ironman. Training for the second York Marathon, one day at a time. Product Review: High5 Race Pack. August 27, 2014. This year I’m training for my second marathon and the husband is training for his first one. I got into the habit of taking gels with me on longer runs last year, but when I went to the cupboard this year it was pretty much bare. Apart from one gel that expired in March this year, but I had it anyway. I’m not dead yet. Last year I used SiS Go Gels. I’ve tried one of the c...

Fat Girl to Ironman. Training for the second York Marathon, one day at a time. A tough decision…or not. October 1, 2014. 11 days to go until the marathon! This weekend was pretty busy for me – I had a full day of work on Saturday then walked 10 miles with my dad on Sunday. That meant no time for the official ‘make or break’ long run, which got shifted to Monday instead. Probably :-) Then standby for the world’s whiniest race review. And…I’m out! The Yorkshire Marathon…it’s getting close! You are commenti...

Fat Girl to Ironman. Training for the second York Marathon, one day at a time. Race Review: Great North Run 07.09.14. September 10, 2014. I ran my first Great North Run in 2006. It was my first half marathon and took me 2 hours and 45 minutes. Since then, I’ve run every single one expect for 2012 which was the husband’s 40th birthday. I’ve got my half marathon time down to 2 hours 15 although recently it’s stuck at around the 2 hours 20/25 mark. This year was astonishingly hot for September in the grim N...

Fat Girl to Ironman. Training for the second York Marathon, one day at a time. August 13, 2014. Towards the end of my marathon training last year I was getting a dull pain in my right Achilles and heel at the end of each run. As I rested over winter it calmed down, but now I’ve picked my training up it’s back again. Last week I did very little running (but did some spin classes, weights and yoga so I wasn’t totally lazy) and on Friday I went to see a sports therapist. Therapist: “are you stretching?

Fat Girl to Ironman. Training for the second York Marathon, one day at a time. Some success…at last! August 20, 2014. After my visit to the sports therapist I felt a bit more confident knowing I’m not completely and permanently broken. I’ve got some weird ankle moves to do every day to build up strength and reduce clicking, but I’m free to run. So, last week I did a steady 3 miles…and it felt good. And then on Saturday, I managed 9.5 miles! Race Review – Leeds 10k 20th July 2014. July 23, 2014. Last year...
