What is TID and does it matter? For this episode, I looked at an article from Sports Medicine (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-024-02137-7) called The Training Intensity Distribution of Marathon Runners Across Performance Levels.

My musings on the 2026 London Marathon and who won the battle of the super shoes.

Another week of training under my belt and I'm still getting slower not faster - what's happening? And how a German helped me see that it isn't all bad news.

After a bit of a layoff due to coughs and colds, I started training with some consistency again. In this episode, I share my running plan, how I have regained fitness and what I plan to do in the next few months. It's probably useful for anybody starting back running after a break or even starting running for the first time. The key is consistency and keeping going even if you don't seem to be getting any quicker.

Towards the end of September, I took part in a 100 mile cycle ride. I talk about the lessons learnt and how they apply to running. I also discuss my next big venture and the training that I have been doing.
