Nudging towards Eridge

[OutAlongTheRiver]

Feeling the need for another target run - and having failed to actually blog post on the Round Sheffield Run [NB that's their facebook page] - I hope to redeem myself with the Eridge 10. A muddy ten miler trail run in the grounds of some large country hall or other. Tom Roper (of Moyleman, Seaford Striders etc) planted the seed of the idea by entering in the first place. It's on 10 September, so I need to get back into more 15K plus runs and possible one fewer beer per crafty Thursday at the Elly.

I should also - by way of making commitments public and thereby having additional incentive to achieve them (see Nudge Theory) - say that I aim over summer to break my parkrun PB. Since I set the PB with my very first parkrun in December 2013, in a way I have been attempting to break it in (in a way) in the subsequent 25 runs ... But now I've actually said it's an aim. Let's see what happens.

And finally, let me recommend The Art of Running Faster by Julian Goater. Not that it's actually made me run faster. But it's got interesting things to say on how you can try to.
