A nice bit of easy #running along the Chelmer from Chelmo to Heybridge and along the coast to Goldhanger and then home yesterday. Good training for #TR250 and Lovely views!

One of only two good runs since 2 Feb today. Still a little uncertain at losing 2 weeks of main training time for #TR250, but at least I enjoyed #running again, especially running wet trails and paths to Layer Marney Tower for some Tudor architecture 😎 Also loving my Injinji toe socks 😬

Still loving the point to point 48 mile race track from the weekend. Feels more of an achievement to see these distances laid out in a line on a map!

A true test of some race strategies yesterday, main aim to run easier, eat less and not visit the aid station before 50km. All aims achieved so despite some grim weather, a very successful training run, with a medal made of LEGO to boot! Also lovely to have the wife in course to hug

Running home from train stations, one of my favourite long distance training sessions. Exploring a new route today for another 21km #running with the #TR250 pack on. Questionable routing choices by the Garmin, but saw a path to a tree I recognised from a more picturesque run a couple of years ago

Much easier #running training for the #TR250 A casual Runch with my youngest through woods near us. Another chance to get used to the pack and an outdoor mobile lunch. Eli was obsessed with when he could eat so I think he’s a natural at ultras! 🤣 7km is a huge distance pb for him too! 🤩

New trail #running shoes day yesterday. Everything seemed to work well so happy with that.

The wife pushed me out the door (I don’t like feels like -5°C) but enjoyed being on trails for a couple of hours. It was very pretty and I had enough layers on not to really feel the chill. Definitely had plenty left in the tank; perfect for #TR250 #running connect.garmin.com/modern/activ...

After a bad night’s sleep I had no desire to get up fat 5:30 for 2 hours in feels like -5°. With a party with my eldest’s hospice this arvo, only time for a short trot around the foggy icy woods #running Smashrun with the cold facts about me not liking to run long in the cold! 😁

Was a cold walk to school with the smallest but much warmer testing my new backpack for Thames Ring 250 at Runch. Backpack was amazing so very happy with that, my #running performance less so! #TR250

Wasn’t feeling the cold today so only planned to head out for 5km. Ended up just #running further and got to 4km before turning. Even got pictures of 3 lonely gates while recording some thoughts on a recent race and the Thames Ring 250 training

However the year is run and done, managed 4,103km. Means I got over 2,500 miles this year and over 5,000 miles across 2023 and 2024 as well as doing my first 10 50km in 10 days, breaking my 100 mile pb and managed to run every day of a calendar year.

The Strava year in review shows up an issue with how they deal with run streaks. Every time I run from one day to the next (100 miles+) it counts as a missed day, even when once I ran for nearly 14 hours on the second day. Surprising they can’t deal with that as well as Smashrun

For the first time my crimbo suit was upstaged at the Christmas Day Park Run as my youngest in his own Crimbo suit joined the wife and my disabled eldest for the final stretch 🎄

Cheesy family photos done, veg prepped, beef sorted, presents wrapped and under the tree, kids tucked in bed waiting for Santa. Time for a pint sized snowball as Christmas Day is close enough to taste.

Some great running achievements in the neon household recently. I passed 4,000km run this year and Number 2 son Eli dragged me to Jr Parkrun on a cold Sunday and bagged a PB despite wearing two Crimbo jumpers!

Saturday’s ultra wasn’t easy for me as my hips were stiff again but it was still loads of fun, especially as James and I added to our collection of photos of us sitting on Samphire Hoe benches during ultras 😁 I managed 50km for my 23rd ultra of the year, which was nice!

Managed 16km solo and then 2km running with the wife and both sons. Even with the new fancy wheelchair, pushing a child approaching 40kg doesn’t get easier! 🤣 Day 1 of Run Up To Christmas done #RU2C

Not as long a run as planned today as the youngest declared he wanted to run with me. He did manage to complete over 5km though, so it was well worth it.

Came across this article in another thread and as someone who has used the cling film method ever since it came out, I wondered just how old it is but couldn’t find the date. Maybe @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social knows the date it went up? b3ta.com/features/how...
