  • In this week of my Project 30:30 series, I head to the Wye Valley for a weeks holiday. Don't fret... I still find time for my training as I prepare for the Vitality 10k in just a few weeks time upon recording. This episode features a testing workout, a snippet from our holiday, a belated 26th bday party and solid effort at the Mallards Pike parkrun in the Forest of Dean. The records there for the taking Mr welsh runner ;)

    That was a cool video, but of a change from the strictly training content in the SJD style that I enjoyed.
    If you like Greek gyros there's several good places I'd recommend in Britain but the real deal in Greece is better, perhaps you should consider running the Athens marathon, the place where it all started! Has not been done by content creators as much as perhaps it should, and am sure plenty of people would be interested!

    • @BenIsRunning
      @BenIsRunning  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yes, as long as you treat it like a training session. Ie run as hard as you can without tapering your training and not killing yourself so your a goal race is hampered I think it’s a great idea :)
