Following the brutal and punishing London Marathon, Jess and I were interviewed by Martin Yelling for Running Fitness Magazine UK. The luxury of answering Martin's questions via email was quite good as the idea that we were inspiring runners sounded a bit rich, considering we rely so heavily on inspiration ourselves to run. After all we are only hobbie runners, not seasoned running club fanatics (although there is a possibility in the future).
The previous blog gives a detailed description of the content of the interview but the real article is fantastic and it was great to see ourselves in a running magazine - ridiculous! Bertie our wonderful housemate agreed to be the inspired one and also featured in the article as she plans to run the Marathon next year for Oxfam as well, hopefully the response is positive and soon.
We've been running with her a couple of times and have enjoyed the extra person to push us along. The housemates at Museum St are all keen on a bit of fitness. We could easily start a running club of our own - see that potential fanatic is showing itself.
In other news, injuries are becoming a regular part of my training, nothing as debilitating as the calf strain that knocked me out for 4 weeks, but it's turned me into a regular bore with my fellow running friends at school. Having said that, they talk about it just as much as I do.
Injury Status
Knee - Frequent pain when running, probably needs another arthoscopy
Unspoken area - Chafe town
