Being a decent runner has a few perks. One, you get to win a few races here and there and two if you are very lucky you get to grab some free stuff! Last Thursday my lovely sponsors, Adidas, sent me a pair of the new BOOST trainers which they have just launched. I am always a bit cautious about gimmicks which claim to help make you faster as I am a firm believer that the only way you get faster is by training hard! Even if you are daft enough to turn to drugs you still have to train hard to get faster, just injecting some EPO into you won’t make you faster!

Christmas, bad weather, marathon training and a host of other things has meant that it’s been a while since I last posted a blog and for that I apologise! So since Leeds I ran a few local races, mainly as tempo runs, some were good, some were bad but as they weren’t really focus races I wasn’t too bothered. Ribble Valley 10k, however, I was hoping for a good fast run out. Unfortunately when I turned up on the morning to freezing temperatures, hail, and near gale force winds I knew straight away that any chance of a fast time was out of the window! |
