Cardiff, you have done me in! 800 is always hard (but in a good way) but when the first lap is way too fast then you know you are in trouble.

A little disappointed but it was my first track race since the summer, I can't complain top much!

After seeing videos of me running and trying to run fast recently, thank you ! I have realised that there is a lot of tightness in my upper body, shoulders and arms I really need to work on. I am pretty sure this will be affecting my ability to run smoothly and quiclly and it looks like it is affecting my arm drive which of course assists in running greatly.... I also look like a lego man trying to run đŸ˜†

So as well as doing all the running work, and the gym work, I clearly need to do a good bit of mobility work on my upper body. I would never have spotted this with out the videos so thank you again Carmen!

It really does go to show that it's important to have someone there sometimes helping with form and offering guidance regardless of the form of exercise!

It seems that training at the moment is either one strength session or running session leading to eternal DOMs which never seems to end... I am always aching from something.

Anyway, here's a pic of me running past the big Christmas Tree in Bournville this evening. I know it's all good and making me quicker and stronger and more resilient!

Merry Christmas to you all, here's to 2026, a year of getting stronger and faster than ever before!
