About Me | |
---|---|
I started running in July 2004 to train for my first ever race, the Bristol Half Marathon. Since then I have run for 2 running clubs, I changed clubs with the hope of making some big improvements over the next few years. After trying my hands at virtually every distance from 800m up to half marathon over the course of about 3 years, I've discovered I quite like the shorter stuff.
At the start of 2008, I decided to switch to 800m/1500m and changed my training to target those distances. In my first track season, I managed to get my 800m PB down from 2:16 to 2:09 and 1500m PB from 4:51 to 4:29. I make YouTube videos about running, you can view my channel at youtube.com/craigbridges Show More...

10 loops around Haydon Batch. My hamstring was feeling tight/inflamed/aggravated basically from the start, but it didn't really get any worse after a mile or so, only during the last 2 laps that the fatigued and soreness started to get worse. This is the longest run I've done since the tendinitis (or whatever it is) started. I intentionally made it this long (instead of 5/6 miles) to see how may legs/body would cope.

Usually lower back/glute exercises and then (in sets) 100 press ups, 100 sit ups, 100 back extensions, 100 dips, crunches/leg raises and planks.

Slow jog and walk around Greyfield Wood to check the status of the bluebells. It was more walking than jogging and I did 8 pull ups on a random tree branch. The ground was very muddy and my legs were still sore/grump from Tuesday's run. My calfs were sore and my hamstring was complaining even with just a few minutes of jogging.

Exploring the trails around Asham Wood to find a new route for recording a virtual run, also checking the condition of the 'trails'., which were very muddy and the foliage hadn't grown much, so I decided to come back late spring/early summer to record the run. I managed to find that elusive 'lake' in the middle of the woods too. Ran about half of it, but the hamstring was fatigued/sore/grumpy by the end.

Easy run around Haydon batch just before the last (twi)light disappeared - legs and arms were feeling tired. I was generally very tired (and stressed from Eunice) after helping dad fix the toilet - it was leaking, so we spent the afternoon trying to find new pipes for it.

Team Thie circuits (number 179). 3 sets of 25 seconds with 5 seconds rest -reasonably hard one today, lots of core.

Discovering/trying out the Vobster section of the route for a new (spring/rapeseed themed) virtual run. The ground was very saturated and muddy in most places, plus it's just not green enough, so my plan is to record the rapeseed part first and a few weeks later record the rest of the run at approx. the same time of the day and with similar weather.

Recording the first part of the Babington spring virtual run around the rapeseed. This was probably the most frustrating virtual run (segment) I've ever recorded! The sky was modeless clear blue but the few clouds there were kept passing in front of the sun... and then going backwards and passing over again! The fact there was little wind (which was good) meant the clouds moved incredibly slow. I had to wait about 20 minutes before I could start the run and then for about 20-30 minutes 10 minutes in for the clouds to finally clear. I then had to re-record the last section because the sun went behind another cloud!

Filming a virtual run around Harridge Wood (including Fairy Cave Quarry). The legs just about held out, my right hamstring felt tight and sore from the start but didn't really get any worse (except fatigued) for most of the run.

Checking parts of the route for the Paulton/Farrington virtual run and trying to get good photos of the rapeseed (and failing because a huge cloud covered the sun, despite 90% of the sky being blue).

From Langley's Lane up through the woods to Farrington Golf course, down, up and over towards Ston Easton and then back to golf course via the woodland. This was a recce for the virtual run I'm hoping to record tomorrow. Calfs were a bit sore and left achilles was inflamed/flared up, left hamstring was grumpy too, but I got to the end in one piece.

Plank (front, side and back), 4 x 25 crunches with 10 second leg raise between, 100 x back raises, 4 sets of 25 press ups, 25 sit ups, 25 dips and followed that up with my sciatica recovery routine (leg raises, superman versions, hamstring curls, hamstring bridges both legs and single legs and finally clams).

Recording a virtual run from the field next to St John's Church, Farrington around the fields heading towards Hallatrow and then up to Farrington Golf Course, down and up towards Ston Easton and back to golf course via the small woodland (found a lovely trail with thousands of wild garlic flowers - it looked beautiful). I think the video came out OK despite the GoPro crashing a few miles in, but I struggled with this one tonight, felt really tired and heavy, especially up the hills, and my hamstring was quite sore tonight, it really didn't like those extra miles, especially the hills.

Jogging back to the woodland via the golf course after my run, recording a 30 minute virtual walk and then walk-jogging back to the car after (I was getting very cold, tired and thirsty by that point!). My hamstring was also very fatigued and sore, so I was very relived to get back to my car and warm up (it was very cold by this point and I only had a t-shirt on with leggings).

Walking to the wild garlic 'alley' in the woodland near Farrington Golf Course (from their carpark) with Eunice.

Slow jogging/walking while exploring Berkley and Black Dog Woods in Chapmanslade for a virtual run. This was my first time in Chapmanslade and the bluebells were looking beautiful. I got completely lost trying to find the 'trails'. According to the map there were lots of trails, but most just didn't exist and didn't even appear to have ever existed. I ended up traversing a lot of the fields surrounding Berkley Woods.
