Running for ME/CFS no. 40

As explained in my post, Technophobe, Technophile, or Technosceptic?, I’m taking a complete break from the internet and everything to do with the technology of contact for a couple of weeks. Here, as also explained, is my programme of training for the current week. (That wonderful facility of ‘scheduling allows me to do this in advance, you see!)

The past week required me to complete 5 3-minute runs and 2-minute walks on Wednesday, a 3-mile session of alternating 2-minute runs and 1-minute wa...

Running for ME/CFS no. 39

As I explained in my post, Technophobe, Technophile, or Technosceptic?, I’m taking a complete break from the internet and everything to do with the modern technology of contact for a couple of weeks. Here, as also explained, is my programme of training for the current week. (That wonderful facility of ‘scheduling allows me to do this in advance, you see!)

Last week demanded a 12-minute session on Wednesday with alternate minutes of walking and running. Then a 2.5 mile session on Friday, alter...

Technophobe, Technophile, or Technosceptic?

Connective tech

How do you see today’s technology? As a barrier to your progress, a brilliant tool to be manipulated at will, or simply another fashion to be treated with scorn?

Take email with its multiple platforms and utter ubiquity. Can’t escape it, can you? And now it’s embedded into the world of mobile phones, it’s probable your boss can and will make contact with you literally wherever you go. There’s no escape. No let up. What was designed as a rapid way of written communication may h...

Running for ME/CFS no. 38

Part of my forest run.

What happened to the ‘Writing’ bit? As followers of this blog will know, the book on ME/CFS is now written and selling. But, if you haven’t yet got your copy of M.E. and me: Chronic Fatigue, My Recovery After 10 Years, please click on this link.

The training continues apace. This was the last in a series of relatively similar training weeks. Things begin to move forward from here. I was programmed to complete a 10-minute run on Wednesday and I did this in the forest, as...
