Simon Grundy in the morning

Here’s what you missed........

Did you know that 25 years ago today back in 1989 Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web!! Imagine how different things would be if he hadn’t???? It’s definitely a life changing invention and we wanted to know what other inventions you feel have changed your life. A few of you on Facebook thought that inventions such as hair straighteners , kettles and dishwashers should be classed as life changing.........I beg to differ, seeing as you could actually survive without having a machine to wash your dishes. Trish on Facebook understood what we were asking and felt that machines in hospitals were life changing such as X-Ray machines and heart monitors and you can’t disagree with that!

Steve Cram was back in the studio this morning to see how my training was going. If you hadn’t heard, Steve Cram AKA ‘The Jarrow Arrow’ has agreed to mentor me while I train for the Sunderland 10k. He came in last week and gave me some really useful tips on how I should be training during the first week. I was pleased that I could tell him this morning that I stuck to his training regime, of 4 sessions a week, which he seemed happy with. His advice for week 2 is to stick to 4 sessions but instead of jogging/running I should try and include perhaps a cycling session. Now I don’t have a bike so I’ll have to think of a different way to mix up that session. Steve knows that I don’t do exercise so he wasn’t surprised when I told him that I was a little bit out of breath trying to run. He had some really good advice; basically you should run at a pace where you can keep up a conversation, whether it’s with someone you’re running with or just with yourself. That’s the best way to see if you’re running at the right pace. He also talked to me a bit about diet. I’m pleased to say that I have altered it slightly but I love cheese......I was supposed to be giving it up for lent and I haven’t been able to do that! Steve’s advice; as long as I eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water I should be ok.

Even though Steve’s training me, his advice the last 2 weeks is perfect for anyone taking part in the race. Listen again to all his advice and to see how my training’s going on our “Run Danni, Run!” page.
