Join Stephen on Race to the Stones 2025 from Lewknor to the Avebury stone circle: a stunning ridge-top journey with generous cut-offs, world-class pit stops, and just enough “cheeky” climbs to keep you honest.

Hey, it's a walkie-talkie!

Today I decided to make it a short one and completely listened to the Garmin suggestion. Felt really good while running, but right now I'm slowly rebuilding my base, so...

It was a base run! The HR never creeped too high, it was rather consistent.

If you're down for a lengthy UTMB experience recap, Patrick Delorenzi has got you covered.

In the video, we can see all the aspects of before, during and after the challenge - and it was a pretty challenging race for him. A very insightful watch, recommended.

Was controlling pace more today, so that the anaerobic part has a bigger impact than the aerobic...

Maybe some other time. 3.7 aerobic, 2.5 anaerobic. 10s sprints, 9 repeats, "rest" for 3 minutes in between. Liked it, thought. Ran in a long sleeve this time.

Due some IT work happening today, I got to have a lunch run!

It was an easy session with 9 short sprints peppered in - everything went well, speed is still there. Been a while!

And now it's gonna feel extra great to dig in into a hearty portion of spagbol 😎

Last time I played #Battlefield6 it was chaos and while fun, I questioned if my mates even want me there. It was tough.

They told me it's all good, everybody's doing their part and just has fun.

Today was the first time I got to Top Squad on the server with them.

They believed, so I believed.

Garmin suggested a recovery run - my thighs are a bit sore from yesterday, so I kindly obliged 😁

Finally a base run, yay! Used it to checkout a pesky #squadrats that flew under my radar. I usually don't run through a university parking, but made an exception for it today.

Sunday Long Run done!

This time I wanted to run from West Kirby to Bidston - had that route for ages, but finally found time to make it happen.

It wasn't the prettiest autumn day, but there was barely any wind and the temperature was perfect. Enjoyed it!

Solid week.

Decided to shake things up a bit and go outside my standard route - on a weekday! The audacity!

I enjoyed popping to the Loop Line for a bit but dealing with morning traffic is something I'm not going to miss when running loops in the park.

Felt quite good!

Had no idea of Kielder Water before - I'm speaking from a perspective of a person where the most north he was is Pen-y-ghent 😅

Flora Beverley shows how much fun she had during her Chicago Marathon taper - a relaxing half sounds great!

Sometimes you get sessions like this one - a session when at the end of it all a voice in your head goes "Ah yeah, I needed that."

Gentle breeze, full cloud coverage and a decent temperature also created a very pleasant morning. Morning! Maybe that's the thing too...

#steamworlddig is a fun, little game - addictive mix of Metroidvania and a digging game loop with a Western charm 🤠

Yeah, trying to find positives. Wish returning to the regular schedule wasn't that bothersome, but when it clicks again... It's gonna be awesome.

Well, glad today happened.

Had a bit too much to eat and I felt it - those evening runs have a pattern. My HR was rather high for this pace, but at least legs felt fine. Main objective for the week is to have 5 sessions and that's the re-starting point.
