What a fabulous day out… I was a due to meet my Mum, two sisters (Deborah and Liz) and my niece Jessica at a certain time at London Bridge but they missed their train!! I decided to go for a little walk as you do. When I say little walk it was very little as […]
Super excited to be seeing ‘Hello Dolly’ again. This time, I am going with my big Sister Deborah, one of my bestie’s Zoe and her daughter Lilly-Mae. It was just an amazing performance as the previous time, however for some strange reason I preferred watching from the right hand side of the theatre. Thanks Zoe
8 x 1 minute on/ 1 minute off. The aim of this run is to push myself for 1 minute intervals and to work at a harder effort. To start with it is the normal 10 minute Warm-Up at a 4.2mph then we are off…. Increase the pace to 5.9mph. EEKKK I hope my legs
Today’s run was quite challenging as I have to run at a faster pace than my usual plod along but it is only for 4 minutes and then I get a two minute recovery pace. …….And we are off to a nice little start with a 10 minutes Warm-Up. This is a great time to
Wow oh wow… definitely 5 *****. This performance was absolutely outstanding. I love Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. There is something so magical about the place. The evening starts with the annual picnic at 6pm. It is so nice to just chill in the park catching up with friends whilst enjoying great food and drinks.
Well…. yesterday I was supposed to run 45 minutes and today I was supposed to run 35 minutes Easy. Not sure why but I thought the plan today was 25 minutes Easy! I finally head out of the door and go for a run outside rather than running on the treadmill. It took me forever
Well…. there is not much to report on about today’s squash other than… I turned up!! hahaha Squash can be so frustrating to play like many other sports. I feel as though I am at my fittest I have been in a long long time yet my performance was so poor. But that is the
Rest days are just as important as training days!! It is so nice to just go with the flow and head to the beach. Perfect opportunity to show-off my new tops. A couple of people asked me about ‘Cheer Up Charlie’ so it gave me great pleasure informing them all about the charity. Really I
OMG…. super excited my new CheerUpCharlie running tops have arrived. I actually cannot wait to do my run today just so that I can show the world them! I may regret saying that when it actual comes to doing my run or more to the point during it! The Tokyo training run is another interval
Today it is all about building the strength in my legs….. I certainly notice the difference in my legs. I know we should be kind about our bodies but sometimes it does make me wonder how on earth I can do some of the sports that I play when I struggle to do a split
Just wow and what a great reminder as to how tough it is for actors and dancers for keep going and wondering if they are good enough, or do they look the right way for a role. Times are changing but have they changed enough? Anyway it was a fabulous show and can’t wait to
I was supposed to run on Saturday but I went to the beach instead…. Mind you my original plan was to run along the beach but by the time I got there, I just didn’t fancy running so I didn’t!! Today… I started the day with an awesome game of Padel…. it is great to
Today’s plan is to run at a faster pace for 2 minutes with 2 minutes recovery. They say….. ensure you pace yourself well in the early reps to ensure you are still feeling strong at the end of the session. These hard runs may be hard, but you will thank yourself on race day for
Today’s training session is ‘Easy 25 minute relaxed run’… Keep the pace really relaxed, try and think about breathing consistently throughout. Enjoy it! During this session I have to run at a 12.57 min/mile pace which is 4.6mph. Although this pace is supposed to be easy… I somewhat struggle or at least I think I
Long Run:- 30 minutes (2.31 miles)….. that’s the plan for today. I’m not sure why they have to call it a Long Run…. when it is only 2.31miles!! I have decided to run on the treadmill for the time being…. Although I would prefer to be outdoors I just can’t seem to get the pacing
No idea why it is called ‘The Berlin’ but hey hoe… The aim of this run was to introduce me to speed workouts and get my body used to this style of training. I am built more for comfort rather than speed! I keep telling myself we all have to start somewhere and this is
