Randomly when I finished doing the Windsor Olympic Distance race this year in June, as I crossed the line I was asked if I would mind being filmed right then and there for 1 minute. All I could do was nod my agreement, stand where positioned and focus on not falling over with exhaustion.
I completely forgot about it until Chris, the film-maker, sent it over to me this week.

I found it really fascinating watching in that I can never really remember those first few minutes when I finish a race. My usual tactic is to look for a quiet corner to collapse into so watching that initial minute after crossing the line for me was enlightening.
You can really feel what everyone in the video has gone through by doing the race and the collective exhaustion as well as relief at finishing the race. For more about the concept and production www.chrisfloyduk.wordpress.com
I had 2 blissful weeks away from training after the Nice marathon but I am back into it…just in time for the snow to hit. It is still a novelty and running in the park has been so peaceful and quiet. I do feel for the ducks who were looking a bit confused at all the ice!
Happy training and think about getting these if you commute! Schwalbe Snow Stud Performance Kevlar Rigid Road Tyre
