It's great for developing my general stamina and core stregnth which I know I will need to depend on a few days into the 100km. If you've never tried it - try boxing... you learn a lot about yourself and will probably be pushed further than you thought you could go... you also learn a great British art.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8188234419524643710-4920057385068066162?l=100kforheadway.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Spakenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188234419524643710.post-27460853020861146242010-02-18T10:37:00.000-08:002010-02-18T10:58:12.848-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-K2hnZCsVGg/S32LbMz5zUI/AAAAAAAAAAg/TFMSFVk5X3o/s1600-h/run+map+route+1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439657224345079106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-K2hnZCsVGg/S32LbMz5zUI/AAAAAAAAAAg/TFMSFVk5X3o/s400/run+map+route+1.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Route 1 is sorted for anyone that's planning to arrange a water grabspot. Pitfield St, over Hoxton Roundabout and onto Whitmore Rd, then onto the Regents Canal heading east until I hit Viccy Park where I'll enter for a full lap. On leaving I'll be hitting the 7km mark where I'll return on the canal side west until reaching Whitmore once again...then onto Pitfield before a closing lap of Ply Pk. I aim to sort a few more routes to keep my ten days mixed up and my distractions from the fatugue to a maximum. A couple will definitely be 25laps of Ply however... on my less creative days.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8188234419524643710-2746085302086114624?l=100kforheadway.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Spakenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188234419524643710.post-90130056667057007562010-02-17T14:58:00.000-08:002010-02-17T15:07:29.413-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-K2hnZCsVGg/S3x2bho2biI/AAAAAAAAAAY/Ke6sM7ldk9k/s1600-h/DSC01659.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439352665214971426" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-K2hnZCsVGg/S3x2bho2biI/AAAAAAAAAAY/Ke6sM7ldk9k/s400/DSC01659.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Please join my '100k for Headway' FB group today!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8188234419524643710-9013005666705700756?l=100kforheadway.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Spakenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188234419524643710.post-26983071953484751012010-02-17T14:08:00.000-08:002010-02-17T14:31:51.844-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-K2hnZCsVGg/S3xpRJJH7LI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n_86cfn6wfs/s1600-h/DSC03808.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439338193189596338" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-K2hnZCsVGg/S3xpRJJH7LI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n_86cfn6wfs/s400/DSC03808.JPG" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Dear All,</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Welcome to my new blog spot.
