Today’s goal was to run in Heart Rate Zone 2. It is so hard to slow down and run by your heart rate and not with your heart/head and running at a hard pace! I believe that it is definitely the way forward to take slow easy runs as it will be more beneficial in […]
What an awesome weekend. I played doubles with Ellie… We have never played squash doubles together and neither of us have ever played on a Doubles Squash Court. We had so much fun. We narrowly won our first match of the weekend 3-2 against two young juniors. Our performance quickly went downhill after that!! Mind
I haven’t played a Club Tennis Match for ages so it was great to just get out there and have some fun… We won by a draw as both teams won 2 matches each. I paired up with Jana. She was great fun to play with. I apologised as I have only played about 4
Tonight’s session was 6 x 1 minute on/ 1 minute off. I re-set my training the other day as I stopped running for a bit as I was focusing on playing padel… not though it made much difference to the results… But at least we had loads of fun along the way. The pace tonight
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
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
