32 done. Bethlem is significantly 'different' from our normal (very very flat and easy) course. So I always sort of dread it as I know I'm going to struggle. But equally I know I'm going to get more out of it and the day I manage to get round without stopping will be a day of national celebration and marching bands. Today was not that day, but OF COURSE I feel amazing.

If I can serve as an inspiration/warning to anyone..... If you're in two minds about getting out and about and going for a run - JUST DO IT. I promise its worth it. Even if it's not a PB. Even if you don't absolutely crush it. It'll be worth it. You'll feel better - more positive. You'll blow away the cobwebs and some of the negativity. And if like me you struggle greatly with the Black Dog, it'll do wonders that pretty much nothing else can.

For those that manage, I salute you.

For your efforts..... A fucking awful picture my wife took of me. I look like I need to be put down or into some kind of home.

To all , , and pretty much anyone doing any form of exercise.

If you are not taking regular ice baths you are not serious about your sport.

According to pretty much all social media platforms. Except Mastodon.

Just putting this out there so you know you get your shit together, buy an ice bath and get in it.

And if poss, make yourself young, blonde, and a bit annoying too. hat's seems to be how it works best.

For the out there, Brooks just pinged me with a discount on the *rarely discounted* Adrenaline GTS 22 shoes. 20% off right now.

As someone who needs a bunch of support while (I overpronate), this shoe helped me quite a bit. πŸ‘Ÿ

So having got in at half 1 this morning and driven my OH and 16 to the station for their whirlwind Norway minibreak, I was back just in time for 31 and with only a few weeks left until my 10k, I decided to do Bethlem instead of my normal FLAT course. And I have to tell you.... it.... was.... HORRIBLE! I'm glad I did it but man that was hard. I think my fitness levels have dropped off a little and with the late night it just totally kicked my butt. But I (of course) now feel like I might have actual magical powers and could levitate if I really thought hard enough. The peak of physical fitness I am not, but look - I did it, I feel pretty good and that's enough for me.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is well done to all my fellow park and non park runners. Anyone that made it out or will make it out today. I salute you. Well done you. You're amazing.

I’d never heard of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (), but a lot of competitive and non-competitive , avid and other -inclined folks aren’t getting enough nutrition.

This health coach, nurse practitioner and ultramarathoner explains what it is, why its under-recognized, and what any athlete needs to know.

As a runner myself, I’ve learned something about why I’m hungry all the damn time!
