The Top to Toe Gear IssueHere is what I have learned so far – I am not a very good runner. But that’s okay. I can deal with being a plodder. 7 months ago I couldn’t even run for 2 minutes without debilitating shin splints stopping me in my tracks. And, because I am not…

The tendons under my right foot hurt today. I am not running and will not be until Tuesday or Wednesday. Then I shall be resting until Sunday and the BUPA Great Yorkshire Run (10K) in Sheffield.

Race Weekend…Okay, okay, when I say race I really mean run. I am not racing against anyone per se, other than myself. This is a run, and more hardened runners would say it is a fun run. It is not a fun run and I do not treat it as such. I want to get…

The PhotoThe Great Yorkshire Run was fun. And out of it I got another memento. The Watch Issue…Now running using the Nike+ iPod application and technology on a treadmill has meant that I have never cared about the whole GPS thing.

@NikeSupport still clutching at straws… NikePlus is still NikeMinus as far as I am concerned. While I now do have all the stats I want (PB for the 10K, 1k, 5K, mile, furthest distance, longest time) there is a discrepancy between the three devices: the iPhone app shows me my 10K YAY! it shows the…

Nike have come back to be repeatedly. I simply asked how I could not see my Personal Best 10K on the Website (It shows 5K, Mile, and K, calories burned, longest time and longest distance) and why the Personal Best page of my iPod Nano has not updated since the first time I used it,…

The debacle continues…So I went to the gym, still a little tired from Thursday’s 13K run with the aim of going one better and, better still, recording this one correctly on Nike+ using the iPod nano. So naive, so very, very naive. The running part was quite easy. I rain a nice easy 12K. I…
