Week 23(26/2/18 – 4/3/18) Now I have got my head around training again I started this week with Gary Telfer Fitness training on Monday. Although I find this very hard I think it is only because of my lack of fitness and using different muscle groups that are not normally exercised. It takes me 48 […]
Phil’s Fitness Diary week 18 – 22 I’m Still Here and Alive !!
Week 18 – 21(18/1/18 – 25/2/18) Training has not gone well for the last 4 weeks as you probably guessed by the lack of this blog. I have had and precautionary ECG just to make sure that I am in shape to try and train harder and go the green light for that. The doctor […]
Phil’s Fitness Diary week 17 Stormy Times ahead.
Week 17 21st – 28th January 2018 Still not sure what is going on with my body. Different parts still hurt and it seems to move around limbs. I do wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew with this marathon Idea. Perhaps I should just try and get fitter, lose some weight […]
Phil’s Fitness Diary week 16 Down but not out
Week 16 15th – 21st January 2018 Have not done any training this week and have felt very despondent. My legs seem to be giving me hell and different parts of the body are falling off. Made an appointment with Sharon Dooley and this helped but didn’t give the magical cure I wanted. Why I […]
Phil’s Fitness Diary week 15
Week 15 10th January 2018 Went for a swim in the morning as my Achilles and hamstring were playing up because of the long run. They didn’t hurt immediately but felt very uncomfortable on Monday morning. It was making my calf muscles feel tight and like they were ready to go into spasm. 11th January 2018 […]

Week 14 After New years eve partying Monday was just a recovery walk to get some fresh air. Thanks to Sharon Dooley and Gary Telfer I managed to keep training this week as I tweaked my left Hamstring on the Potter street run. It didn’t show up straight away but when I got Gary to […]
Phil’s Fitness Diary Week 13 Potter Street or Bust
Week 13 Christmas Day run didn’t happen with the Talbot Household. Four faults for a refusal as they say in equine circles. Not a bad week though and I still need to sort out a target race. 26th December 2017 Had a steady training run outside today and managed to avoid the inclement weather. I […]

Having to go to a couple of meetings in London looking at Autumn/Winter 2018 products and socializing with the other stores.

Phils Fitness Diary week 11. It’s Running Jim but not as I know it !!
Week 11 This has been one of the worst weeks so far. Probably one of the easiest weeks training for a while but mentally quite tuff. I am struggling with the HR training and being part of the old school I think I should be flogging my guts out to make any difference so walking […]
