Running

I was surprised they didn't make more of the battle to top the medal table last night. They only really started mentioning it towards the end and never showed an "as it stands table".

It was clear after we got the marathon team gold that it was going to go down to the wire. What made it fascinating was that we were so close with the Italians on both golds and silvers.

As it turned out, there were twists and turns in the tale all evening, with 1cm deciding the long jump in their favour and then the close finish in the men's 4x400m (by which time they were at least mentioning it).

I loved it and will be watching the remaining Diamond League fixtures plus the new World Athletics Ultimate Championships next month. Can't wait.

As a bonus, it's inspired me to get back into running again..........just a tad slower than them!

I have been doing a bit of running in the last few months and intend to continue.

Until last week, I had only run outdoors.

The place I was staying at last week had a treadmill. I fancied a go on it. I ended up having five goes on it and am now looking at treadmills.

I like riding on the wattbike. I prefer riding outdoors, but I like riding on the wattbike.

Is a treadmill as useful for running as an indoor trainer is for cycling?

Brilliant wasn’t it, and one of Mondo’s attempts wasn’t too far away either.

I used to have a treadmill about 20 years ago but to be honest with you: it was dull. After a hiatus, I got back into running during lockdown but only outdoors. I understand that zwift now offer a running service if you want to add interest to your indoor runs.
