    All this fitness will be for naught if I can’t run 10km at the end of the race. I’ve been struggling with tight calves and pain for most of the year, and every time I rest & recover the problem soon returns. I have managed a run of over 2 hours, and I did start…

    The 6th podcast from Phil & me (sorry, Dr Phil Newton & Dr Samuel Webster) is up, live, available and downloadable. We talk about how sensations of pain are relayed to the brain and a little about how the brain perceives pain, phantom limb pain and referred pain. Phil also tells me how the brain…

    What do you think of this? I’ve been putting this together, probably, for the last couple of years. I was driven by the aim to visually represent, in a format that most of us recognise and can navigate easily, what the cranial nerves link to. That is, which structures send and receive information via neurones…

    It was great to see & hear so many Swansea med students at the Llanelli half-marathon today. It was also great to get to run fast (I had a big grin on the start line)! Unfortunately the running fast didn’t last the full distance. This was an early, pre-season test of my running pace &…

    The end of March date has been dropped, so we may do the ride in May. In other news, a new podcast is coming very soon on the anatomy of the eye, and the clinical relevance of it all.

    A buddy of mine has roped me into a cycling challenge. He’s not much of a cyclist, and I might have extended the challenge a little too much. He wants to raise money for a South African community that he will be visiting this summer. I want to raise money for Interburns. He suggested riding…

    So that’s 2010 done! I’ve been meaning to remove one of the pages on this website & replace it with race results from the last couple of years. I’ll get round to it soon. 2011 is here & this week I’ve started training again for my key races. The Windsor Triathlon is 6 months off…
