Base run. Poor execution (missed my target time 12.3/13.0) due to a new pain - a really sharp stabbing in my hip when stepping up the pace. Came on earlier this week and seems to be getting worse 😔 Another injury it appears… Run soundtrack by A Certain Ratio #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Hot and humid (and it felt like v poor air quality) run in London tonight. Respect to the capitals runners! Missed my target (12.10 mile) but happy enough to do the run and at 12.34 per mile given the heat! 90’s London flashback vibe soundtrack by Chapterhouse #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Tempo Run. 27mins @12 mile pace. Pleased with my efforts today, I beat Garmin for once and feel like I can sustain running at a faster pace. So muggy here, feels like a storm is coming! Run soundtrack was the magnificent new album from Tremours. So good! #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Tempo Run. Not my favourite (I find it’s difficult to soak up the surroundings) and they are hard especially after strength work yesterday. But decent pace for me and so enjoyable in glorious weather. So beautiful out there! Summer run soundtrack by Saint Etienne. #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Base run. Perfect running conditions. Sunny, warm and a cool breeze. Feels so easy to be running when it’s like this. Forgot to take a photo so had to do one when I got back!. Superb run soundtrack by the brilliant Sugar For The Pill #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Hill running. Two decent hills (with a nice downhill reward after each) and bigger than they look on the picture! Tough going, especially when the rain started, but feels good to have dig it out. Gloomy goth shoegaze run soundtrack by the aptly named Activity. #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Very soggy run this morning. Rain was much heavier than I hoped. Quite refreshing for a while though! Saw 3 heron on the canal this morning, which is a record! Inspiration providing run soundtrack by Big Country #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

First run since the mountain climbing at the weekend. Very good to be back out there again. Felt stiff and sore initially but fine once I’d warmed up. Such a beautiful morning here, sunny with a lovely cool breeze. Life affirming stuff! Run soundtrack by Wozniak. #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Good hill run today, the cooling rain and wind was actually pleasant as I went up, and running down it was good fun! The hill is bigger than it looks on the photo! Run soundtrack by Camera Obscura #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Friday run to get tasty cream cakes from the bakery. Tired today after a hard week at work and travel. So was pleased to push through. Worth it too for the cool sunny air as I ran (and also worth it for cake). Run soundtrack by Manic Street Preachers #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Another run under the belt! So warm, I’m going to need to start running earlier in the morning! But such an absolute riot of colour and life out there today. So lucky to be healthy and able to be out in the nature 💪 ✌️Run soundtrack by John McKay #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Zone 2 run. Muggy weather followed by a cooling shower 3/4 of the way. A storm is coming!! Saw so many tiny duckings on the canal path! Felt foot was great, knee a bit sore but nothing too bad at all. A privilege to be able to run. Run soundtrack by The Chameleons. #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

Easy run to test knee and toe. Felt amazing to be running again and not walking/cycling/hobbling. Fitness has dropped a bit, but that doesn’t matter. An absolute privilege and joy to run in the crisp morning sun. Bliss! Run soundtrack by Warm Coat. #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

First run post injury. Felt AMAZING, if hot and tiring, to be back out. Need to build back up slowly and pay attention to my body, but also remember that any run is a privilege and to soak up every moment. Run Soundtrack: Tears Run Rings #running #5kto10k #runningpunks

What a beautiful morning!! Ran in T-shirt and shorts for the first time in months. Sunny, mild, blue sky. An absolute privilege and joy to be able to run in nature today. Zone 3 base. Pleasing pace for 2 miles but my legs feel it now! Banger run soundtrack by Mogwai #5kto10k #running #runningpunks

Nice Zone 2 trail run to the bakery (well, it’s Friday) for hot x buns and freshly baked bread. Overcast but so mild. After the winter running it feels like utter luxury to run in these temps and on dry paths. A joy. Uber jet back goth run soundtrack by The Horrors #5kto10k #running #runningpunks

Wow!! My most enjoyable day running (so far!). Sunny, warm, nature alive everywhere, the sun glinting off the water. A joy to be alive and outdoors!

Nice easy 5k in zone 2. Being Friday I stopped at the bakery to get a nice fresh loaf and cake! The lovely warm weather seems to have gone temporarily but still nice and light and dry to run. Iconic 40th anniversary goth run soundtrack by the Sisters of Mercy. #5kto10k #running #runningpunks
