I've been mentioning this video a lot lately, I too know the pain and suffering of descending stairs after a half marathon and this video captures it perfectly. Remember folks after a big distance run you should warm down / stretch / ice bath or cold shower then compression wear for the fastest recovery.

If you have met me and we have spoke about this site before, you'll know it was built on the basis that I had terrible anxiety about running and wanted to help others overcome it, like I'm am doing. With a headline like... "To the fatty running on the Westview track" This article really stood out to me and put me in an instant foul mood but there is a shock ending. Click on the photo to see the article... I had the pleasure of spending my weekend with some great folk who had some fantastic tattoos. It got me thinking about running tattoos... So i went looking for some. Turns out RunnersWorld.com already had an online article about this. Here's my favourite... Click on the image to see more Yesterday I attended the 2nd birthday celebration of parkrun at Camperdown Country Park on behalf of Dundee Sweatshop. It was the first one I had been to and I have to say it was fantastic, I have just uploaded all the photos I took at the event. Please click on the image below to see them all. I just found this brilliant Buzzfeed article today and it pretty much sums up my runs. It made me chuckle a fair bit. So thought you would all enjoy it too.
I had the pleasure of being in attendance of the Sport Relief mile on the 23rd of March at Camperdown Country Park. Having worked in the charity sector for the last few years. I have seen a direct result of what the Sport Relief funds do and exactly where they go. So I was extremely proud of everyone taking part. Seeing some of the people cross the finish line and seeing what they had overcome and the emotions that came with it, were all very heartfelt. So well done to everyone involved! You have made a huge difference! Is it a good idea? I'd have to say no, is it really worth risking months of not running if you slip or fall and hurt yourself. With a day pass as low as £5.99 at Pure Gym in Dundee and other gyms and classes modestly priced across Dundee. It would be a good time to take advantage of all their offers. Oh and here's what inspired this post... This is for anyone who has ever ran long distance, I'm sure you can relate to this. For anyone considering long distance, please train for it or this could be you.
I watched this before my first Half Marathon and didn't train... This was pretty much the state i was in hahaha.. courtesy of Barney Stinson from How I met Your Mother. |
