Challenge blog: 15 Sept - Jogging and self sufficiency
By Kate Langrish on 15/09/2010 13:06:05
Music, views...mushrooms? What takes your mind off the pain when running?
So, I'm on week 2 of the training plan and I was doing my ten minute run, two min walk bit this morning. It was a lovely sunny morning, so I thought I'd take the route through my local woods and over the common. The ten min run there was hard going as uphill (by the way, has anyo...

On your marks - my first 10k race day has finally arrived
It doesn't seem as long ago as 10 weeks since I started my Zest challenge, but Sunday marked the culmination of my training with my first 10k race.I was excited but really nervous - not helped by the fact that I turned up to the wrong park to start with and then, upon arriving at...

Challenge blog: 7 Sep - Training begins
By Kate Langrish on 07/09/2010 11:23:20
Can I count my commute as 'training'?
OK, it seems my good intentions have slightly faltered at the first hurdle as I missed my first day of training. But wait wait, I have a good excuse - honestly.I was roped into running the Adidas 5K with Team Zest on Sunday. Well, when I say running, I mean walk/run. I felt reall...

Challenge blog: 12 Oct - running style
By Kate Langrish on 12/10/2010 10:49:37
Catching sight of yourself running for the first time is a traumatic experience
I'm now on week 5 of the training plan and for the first time I'm starting to feel like I can run at different effort levels without collapsing in a hyperventilating heap. In other words, I've started to feel like I've made some improvement...maybe even call myself a runner.Well,...

Challenge blog: 2 Nov - Running style sorted
By Kate Langrish on 02/11/2010 18:15:22
Today I discovered my running style through an Asics gait analysis
I had my first gait analysis at the swanky Asics store today (www.asics.co.uk). I was a bit worried I'd embarrass myself on the treadmill with my novice skills, but apparently it's a good idea for beginners to have one done as it means any problems are corrected before you get in...

Zest challenge blog: 9 Nov - sudden panic
By Kate Langrish on 09/11/2010 22:19:50
Realisation dawns that I'm not running as far as I thought
Just before I set off on my Sunday run (50 mins), I thought I'd have a look at how far I'd been running. In my head, I've been clocking up around 7k on my long runs, so it was a bit of a shock when I actually put my route into a route planner. Seems my two favourite runs are only...
