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...

Out along the Greenway and back while Tyler was at theatre group. My left leg was very stiff and fatigued, my achilles was flared/inflamed/sore and hamstring felt tight/sore.

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.

Team Thie circuits from 15th January as no circuits on 29th April. 3 sets of each exercise in 25 seconds with 5 seconds recovery. Muscles felt tired today.

A pyramid session of 1, 2, 3, 2, 1 minutes with the same time recovery between reps. This was my first structured run since the fartlek in March that took my hamstring over the edge. It was still a little grumpy but not too bad today, I keep the efforts reasonably fast and actually felt OK by the end. I even did some dynamic warm up drills and 2 strides.

My mini core session (planks, crunches/leg raises, back raises, 4 x 25 press-ups/sit-ups/dips) plus lower back/sciatica exercises.

Walking to the wild garlic 'trail' at Farrington Golf Course from a layby near Clapton with Tyler and Eunice. Taking photos and having a nice chat with the local farmer(s).

Recording a virtual walk (and taking photos) around Berkley Wood after recording the virtual run. It had warmed up a lot by then.

Recording a virtual run around Berkley and Black Dog woods in Chapmanslade on a beautiful, misty but sunny morning. My hamstring was grumpy but held out, the main thing was I just felt very tired and heavy. It started really cold (about 3 degrees) but ended up a nice temperature, around 14 degrees by the time I left.

Recording a virtual run from Whatley Quarry (viewing point) to Mells. Hamstring wasn't too bad today (relatively) but it was quite hot and the ground was a bit challenging, some of the muddy sections had dried but were uneven.

Filming the extra loop for the Whatley to Mells virtual run around the Vallis woodland area, starting at the top of a farm field and heading down into the woods. I nearly didn't do this as I was tired and my calf's were sore from the Nunney loop I did an hour earlier.

Recording a virtual run loop starting at Nunney Castle and finishing there, heading through the woods by Chantry on the way and (cleverly) joining up with yesterdays route so I can merge the two together and make a much longer (90 minutes plus) video). My calf's were very sore after yesterday and I wasn't sure if they'd cope, but luckily they did, so another one in the bank. I think it was even warmer than yesterday, but I got to explore some new trails (although the first part along the river after Nunney was virtual un-runnable) and saw a Mara along the trail next to the quarry.

Running a practise loop around Beacon Wood and then doing a bit of core (on some moss) after.
Add a comment
Walking around Beacon Wood, exploring, filming a virtual walk and taking photos. Annoyingly a lot of mist/cloud came along and covered the sun about half way through the walk, making it quite dark.

Recording two extra loops (in both directions) around the wild garlic woodland near Chantry for the Mells and Nunney virtual runs. I had planned to record the Heavens Gate to Shearwater loop but my calf's were still too sore.

Recording the first part of the Beacon Wood virtual run. Frustratingly a) the sun was just about to go behind a blanket of cloud as I got there (it was kind of sunny for the first few minutes then it went dark) and b) the Bluebells had started dying, so they were not very impressive.

I drove to Cheddar Gorge for an attempt at recording the virtual run, but it was basically cast over and too dark, I recorded the first bit from Black Rock but then gave up and left it for another day. Instead I drove down the gorge and took photos. I was glad I abandoned the run because boy racers were already going up and down the road, which would have a) ruined the video and b) been very dangerous for me. I drove to Stockhill Wood after, quickly took a photo of the nice view with the sun setting over Priddy Pools and then warmed up, a few basic drills and 10 x 1 minute fast, 1 minute jog, then 12 minute slow cool down. I actually felt quite speedy and reasonably fit, my hamstring did complain but it was only really during the cool down that I felt it plus my calf's. I had the whole wood to myself, I didn't see a single person while running, except for one car in the car park.
