Work in Progress |
A journey of training and hopefully transforming! After taking up running mid 2011, I fell in love with it and hope to share my passion with others! When I started I couldn't run a bath! But now I can say I have completed several races including the Great North Run and have signed up for many more in 2012. |
I’ve said this time and time again planing is everything so this week I’ve made a plan and I will stick to it! I guess a plan is only useful if you stick to it so I’ve put it in both my home and work diary and plan to tick off each session and each meal I have.
My training feels like it’s getting back on track this week I’ve ran 25miles, 12 of them over the weekend and whilst I feel fantastic for doing so I’m shattered! I think this is partly to do with poor nutrition and secondly down to the fact my body is not used to this sort of work being put in! After cross country on Saturday I did 8 miles yesterday with a fellow TBHer and struggled through as my legs either felt like jelly or led - they couldn’t decide and neither could I! Managed to run 8 miles in 1hr 24mins which isn’t too bad but I definitely need to get quicker if I want to get a decent time at Edinburgh.
My knee has been great and I’ve been running without a support so definately on the mend! My calf muscles are quite tight so going to get some compression socks which have been recommended to help when I’m running and when I’m resting.
I’m having a rest day today to get over the weekend running but will be trying to build up my sessions again to get back into a run streak!
Have a happy and healthy week :)
