Exploring miles = running smiles

In running, it's the simple stuff that works. It's always been the way.

A watch might have told me tonight's run was unproductive. But I know different. When you go with the feeling, there's no such thing. That's stuff's for others.

A touch of Exmoor. Tarr Steps

Three-time Olympian and legendary Oregon coach Bill Dellinger has passed away at 91 years old. Dellinger won a bronze medal in the 5000m for Team USA at the 1964 Olympics and was both an athlete and coach at the University of Oregon, where he served as head coach from 1972 to

The chase for sub 4 mile for women won't be a romantic reflection of yesteryear. It will be an artificial arms race which will not be received well. It's a sport that's sadly dying and is failing to keep relevant. The ideas have all but dried up.

Back in the forest. Longest run. It's only a modest 8 miles, but it's backed up with weeks of 4 and 5s, then 6s and 7s. Better takes time. We call it Time on Feet.

Some will argue. But we just don't think you can get away from the importance of long running. Snell wept with the early weeks on the Waiatarua run. But several weeks later he was cruising around it. It all works out....

Some think the now is how it has always been. Thankfully it has not always been like this. The simple has been replaced with the nonsensical and overly complex.

The best repetition you can do is getting out there day after day.

Whilst on the run tonight I got told to get my knees up by an elderly woman and asked for a light for a cigarette. Forgive me, but I'm finding it hard to see the positive.

It looks like a day for an easy hour. It's not a bad place to fall. Keeping in the game needs the right decisions.

The easy hour turned into an easy 80 mins. Just went with the feeling. No stats. Just went with what I had and took in the scenery.

Nice message from a young lad I've been advising. Was running 26/27 5k. Got a few ticks over 20 tonight. Just simple stuff....time on feet. It works.

We have to be very conscious of how our sport appeals to the young. Does our sport have appeal? Is it accessible? From what I'm witnessing both are markedly in decline unless support and socioeconomic status are in a good position.

Some runs you are just fighting the preceding lack of discipline or environmental factors that have stripped down your ability. These are the troughs of our sport....it's not all insta fairy tales.

Custom t heading out to NI tomorrow. Yep, we're still at it!

Our new 'Easy Runner' t. Only from Time on Feet Running. Navy with sunshine gold, for those easy runs on golden days. I'll be out with one of these later. If you spot it give us a wave.
