Last week was unnervingly incident free. Got out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Monday. I managed to cover 26 miles with the longest being a 10.5 miler.
I have purely been running to get my core fitness up in the shortest time possible and to (hopefully) strengthen my knees.
I really can feel my fitness surging back remarkably quickly! Yesterday, when the sun was out , running in a vest weather, I felt the best I have felt for a few years. Of course the temptation is to crank up the pace - but that is a dark world fully of the promise of injury. I find it SUCH a struggle to hold myself back when I feel like that. I kept looking down at my watch and seeing my pace higher than I planned even though I feel I am holding back.
Oh but to just sprint across the dunes :-)
My plan is to carry on this way, increase the mileage to 30 this week. The weekend after next I want to walk the parish section from Bride to Peel (backwards of course!) which is around 20 miles or so.
Fingers crossed, things are looking up...

About Me
- Richard Wild
- I was born in the Isle of Man in 1970. I left in 1990 to further my education. I didn't return to the Island until August 2007. A very lucky man, I am married to Suzanne, a Welsh beauty and have a gorgeous 4 year old daughter, Jessica who goes to Andreas School. In 1984 I started racewalking, coached and mentored by Graham Young two times winner of the Parish Walk (1971 and 1992!) and ex course record holder. In 1986, after two years of hard training with Graham, I became Northern Britian Racewalking Champion (Youth) in Morcambe. I competed in many local races and obtained a 10k pb of 52 minutes in 1987. After 20 years away, I am going to see how far I get in the 2008 Parish Walk. This is my Blog.
