Today, about 15 Nambanners went for a scenic run in the hills of Kamakura. The first 6k took us one hour, so, it was more about enjoying the landscape than about training.

But well, we managed to run 15k, so we deserved the Okonomiyaki…

On Sunday I competed in the 10k supporting race for the Seoul Joongang marathon. Conditions were cool and overcast; ideal conditions to race a 10k.

I had a good start and managed 3:26 ks for the first 3k. Unfortunately I had a few problems with my left ankle and at around 4k I felt a slight ping in the achilles. Although I wasn't really troubled, instinctively I eased off slightly and finished a lonely 4th in 36:02. Slightly slower than my last 10k but under the circumstances I don't…

Yesterday the Gyeongju Dong A Marathon Festival took place; organised by the same people who stage the Seoul Dong A Marathon every March. And a good job they generally do, too. As with all the Dong A events (the others being the aforementioned Seoul event and the Baekje marathon festival in which I took part in 2 weeks ago and wrote about on another blog) it was well organised and certainly blessed by the weather gods.

The festival includes 4 events: a marathon ( which was won…

It's been a good week for me, training wise. Even though I've had quite a tiring week, I've managed to get some good training done. So here is how it went.

Monday: AM Easy 60 minutes. No problems;just the usual Monday stiffness. Followed by 10 minutes of core work .

Tuesday: AM My first structured rep session for the fall. 6x3minutes with 90 seconds recovery on the road. Did these on an inclined course. And recorded on my garmin. Distances varied according to wind and…

Great job by all the runners today, still a lot to learn for the time-keepers!

20 minute fartlek last night; 2 minute surges with 1 minute float recoveries. Felt fantastic; strong on the surges and fluid on the floats. Could have probably done at least a couple more surges if I wanted.

2 hours at 5 am this morning. Well at least I managed to hack my way around. Understandably the body isn't too way inclined to get going at that time.

Last night's workout and this morning's ramble could well be descibed as chalk and cheese.

Anyway 10k race this…
