How it all began aka ‘Run Fatboy Run’

Bradley on the Run March 30, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story itemprop="discussionURL"9 Comments

It was during Christmas break – December 2008 – that it happened. We were lazing at home watching this awesome British comedy, and by the end of the movie I had made a decision. I was going to sign up for a race! Not a marathon (see trailer here, if …

Today was a chance to put my “run-a-long-run-the-day-before-a-race-and-get-a-PB” philosophy to work. Again. But I really shouldn’t start there… Back in November, I signed up for the Canada Running Series (www.canadarunningseries.com) Combo Pack, including: Spring Run-Off Vancouver 8k (a.k.a the Modo 8k) Scotiabank Half Marathon Eastside 10K As I’m all about …

Hitori de speed work i.e. Just Me

Bradley on the Run March 16, 2014 October 9, 2017 Training

I avoid speed work like the plague. Don’t get me wrong. In the abstract, I absolutely understand the value of speed work. It’s in all the running mags. All the cool kids are doing it. Heck, it’s free with registration for my marathon running clinic. So what’s the problem? Speed …

My Physio Visit

I’ve been having lower back problems for a few months now. It’s not debilitating, nor excruciating. But boy does it ever hurt in the morning, or after I’ve been standing for a while. A dull, throbbing ache that doesn’t have a right to be there. My chiropractor had recommended physio, …

Reflections on a 30k Run

Bradley on the Run March 8, 2014 December 22, 2017 My Story / Training itemprop="discussionURL"3 Comments

Today is International Women’s Day. It also would have been my Mom’s 80th birthday. I kind of like that they fall on the same day. A 30km run allows a lot of time for reflection. But hard-core introspection is not something I’m incredibly comfortable with, so I was fortunate to …

@WestVanRun 2014 = #WeAreWinter!

Bradley on the Run March 2, 2014 February 3, 2018 Race Reports itemprop="discussionURL"6 Comments

You know it won’t be a typical run when you wake up to snow falling in downtown Vancouver. But let me back up a bit. Because this is my first official race report, and because I’m especially impressed with this young, up-and-coming 10k/5k (this was its 3rd year), I want …

Another running blog?

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

I can hear the question being asked (by someone, somewhere): “Does the web really need another running blog?” Thankfully, when I told some of my friends (runners & non-runners alike) that I was going to start a running blog, all I got was encouragement. Now, they may have just been …
