Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp Struggled. Felt my Achilles burn from 2 mile in. Ran on my heels but my calf clenched up with a couple of miles to go. Kept turning over til the Finish. 3 weeks rest just not enough. Lots of experience points and I can't walk. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Sunny, calm, hot, dry. Wilbur dog run testing Achilles (R) to bear my weight after resting a strain I couldn't walk on. Dog is buckled in the heat and Achilles is tender. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Days 365+175, 176, 177 Late World Cup nights and bad habits caused a flat footed final consecutive run. Woke next morning with a burning Achilles I couldn't put weight on so needed time to recover. Happy with over 500 days and 3000 miles though 🍻 The end. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kad ay

Thanks for thinking of me. I burst! Too much World Cup candle burning caused an Achilles injury I couldn't walk on so I've laid up, got on a herbal remedy and taken some time out. 1st gentle test run today and things seem on the mend. Got some NB6 to cheer myself up but obviously not used them yet.

Day 365+174 - Light rain, breeze, mild, damp. Had an existential wobble wondering why I feel driven to #run every day, then went for a run. Mentally very tough decision today after burning too much of both candle ends. I was #running like a square wheel along the road. #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+172 - Sunny, breeze, warm, damp. Started with the feel of wellies on my feet that eased over time. Just a couple of hours sleep last night. Morocco's early goal was a dagger! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

I wear underarmour t shirt and shorts. The shirt really helps against nipple erosion but the bottoms haven't been doing their job recently, especially once the miles get in to double figures. The post run bath is like sitting on a stove!

Day 365+169 - Showers, breeze, mild, wet. Relaxed pace around the area with higher HR than expected. 10min walk to catch up with a seldom seen face. Enjoyed the #run, collecting surplus calories. Forgot the Bodyglide, fusing my arse cheeks together. Nae fine. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+166 - Cloudy, breeze, mild, damp. A Wilbur dog paced base (recovery) #run after a few hours sleep. Tough watch but nicked a goal and got the win though 5am is no time to get some sleep. Sort yer timezones out America & c'mon Scotland! #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+165 - Cloudy, stiff breeze, mild, dry. Sprintervals with and against the wind & a steady #Parkrun. Watch glitch displaying pace as 0:00 during session.

New foam in the 'pod' (same as the Megablast). That might be interesting as I've noticed that my NB5 drop off after around 250-300 miles. They're just don't have the same spring after that so become my easy run shoes. Got the Megablast (not a fan, not roomy) and still choose the NB5 for long runs.

Day 365+161 - Broken cloud, breeze, mild, damp. A fresh morning #run along the byways after yesterday's rain. Struggling between wanting to keep pace up and the watch (HR) telling me to take it easy. Paid too much for the watch to ignore it but here we are. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+160 - Summer showers, breeze, mild, damp. A Wilbur dog base #run with the taste of petricor in the air kicked up by refreshing heavy showers. The dog is keen in spirit but left wanting in energy. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Quite a lot of discussion about investing for the future (again). All good stuff but where are we with current U21's like Miodrag Pivaš (CB), Leo Shahar (RB), Trevan Sanusi & Seung-soo Park (both LW), Rory Finneran (CM), Sean Neave (CF). Tested, but similar type investment suggests they're not 'it'.

Day 365+159 - Broken cloud, windy, mild, damp. Lane infinity and beyond! Feelgood track intervals. Ran with 'vibes' over the watch HR beeps today. Lost some pace in the last couple of months but not as bothered as I have been in the past. Just enjoying the day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+158 - Sunny, breeze, warm, damp. A warm breezy humid Wilbur dog #run where he dragged his heels. Come to expect it so no big deal but a slow base run. Stiff hamstrings after yesterday that loosened off in the sun. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Running the World's most Beautiful Marathon - Loch Ness
YouTube video by The Random Runner
020
Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Loch Ness is a net 300m (1000 foot) descent from start to finish. It's 'undulating' with mostly downhill for the first 10ish miles. One serious hill around 20 miles (just where you don't want it :) A beautiful course if you like being far from the madding crowd & cheered home the last few miles.

Doodahdog @doodahdog.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
What kind of distance would you want ideally? If you fancy a marathon, I would definitely recommend Loch Ness. You might even see the Beastie! They do a ½ too at a different time of year. If you want ALL the hills and wilderness, try the Glencoe Marathon. Personally, I'd avoid Edinburgh.

Day 365+155 - Cloudy, breeze, warm, damp. Off session that slowed through the intervals. Watch giving high HR alerts while my body felt ready to keep pace. Listened to the watch. ?Fatigue, heat, illness, hydration. Whatever the cause, I live to run another day. #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday

Day 365+152 - Rain, breeze, mild, wet. Yesterday's run... A slow Wilbur dog recovery circuit in the rain. Nursing a hip flexor strain that's been getting steadily more tender. Hopefully it comes to nothing more. 177 miles for May and 824 miles in 2026 🥳 #running #runsky #runningpunks #5kaday
