A Month without Running – Lessons & Resolutions

Bradley on the Run August 4, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story itemprop="discussionURL"6 Comments

You haven’t heard from me in a while because, quite honestly, I’ve been in somewhat of a blue funk. At the behest of my physio, I took time off after the Scotiabank Half Marathon in June to recovery from a lingering injury. I was meant to start running again after …

#Playlist – My Running Dozen

Bradley on the Run July 1, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story

Since I’m on forced rest days again, and I don’t feel particularly introspective, I thought I’d share something that truly motivates me – my playlist! I know this music won’t be to everyone’s taste, but here are ten twelve songs that have accompanied me on many of my long runs! Some of the …

Bradley on the Run June 22, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Race Reports itemprop="discussionURL"6 Comments

I signed up for the Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon as part of a 3-race package (Modo 8k, Scotiabank Half, Eastside 10k). Little did I know the time that I’d be running the BMO Marathon in May, and injuring myself enough to have very little training leading up to the race. …

Little teaser here: Ambleside Mile video! (You’ll see me cross the finish line at 4:28) Since the Vancouver Marathon, I’ve been nursing a couple of injuries that have severely limited my ability to run. I won’t bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that the Ambleside Mile …

Bradley on the Run May 26, 2014 October 9, 2017 Race Reports

Well, on top of my tendonitis – which is healing quite nicely – I’m dealing with something of a strain. In my groin. Yep. Fine when I’m walking, really uncomfortable as soon as I pick up the pace. As a result, I continue on with my non-run healing plan. I am …

Recovery Mode = Test of Patience

Bradley on the Run May 19, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Training itemprop="discussionURL"5 Comments

As I’ve alluded to (or stated outright) in previous posts, I’m not a particularly sporty guy. At all. Running is that rare activity that has somehow captured my soul and given me the motivation to be – though I still feel the need to use quotation marks – an “athlete”. …

7 Days Later – Post-Marathon Musings

Bradley on the Run May 11, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Training

It’s hard to believe a week has gone by already. 7 days ago, my legs could barely move, I was exhausted, and I was elated. Is there such a thing as post-marathon blues? Monday I took the day off work and spent the day alternating from bed to epsom salt …

BMO Vancouver Marathon 2014 Report

Bradley on the Run May 5, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Race Reports itemprop="discussionURL"27 Comments

Be careful what you wish for! In a previous post I referred to my delight at running in the rain – and rain it was for my first full marathon – the BMO Vancouver Marathon! In the morning I woke up to the sound of rain. The previous week had …
