Well tonight after work I was supposed to do a Foundation Run of 5 minutes warm-up and 20 minutes running in Zone 2… Unfortunately, this was not going to happen as I had a bit of a nightmare at London Bridge Station. I am not 100% sure what happened…. as to whether I was nearly […]
I spent the morning studying and then I headed out the door to have a lunchtime game of padel. What an awesome way to break up the day. Shame I got whacked at full pace with a padel ball in the face. Luckily my cap and glass took the brunt of it but I have
This week’s goal: Fully absorb your recent training and emerge ready for the heavier training to come. I didn’t have the best of days at work today but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. My day was made soooooo much better as when I arrived home… I had a little package from HappyStride. I
What a great end to the week… Even though I was working the time flew by. The lovely Ana who sadly will be leaving soon, kindly offered to do my nails. The photo does not do her great work justice… There is glitter in the red which was. to go with my theme of the
I was having a bit of a lazy day today after such a wonderful day out with Jorge. I was quite happy to just chill at home and relax. I did think about going to the Spa for a chill but if I am honest with myself… I was too lazy to drive there… get
My legs were screaming at me today… Not today but I really wanted to run… I started my run but I quickly stopped as I listened to my body as my legs were saying… Nope they are not going to work… it doesn’t matter how slow I run they just do not want to do
Well I lost my squash match as I anticipated but it was great fun nonetheless. It is nice to lose to such a talented young player who plays the game with a great personality and kindness. Esther has a very very promising future ahead of herself. I then head to the gym for my run….
Boy Oh Boy:- What a night. I had an awesome squash match which I lost 16/14 in the third. I am kind of glad that I didn’t win but also gutted at the same time. A quick drink and some ‘Salt Sticks’ to fuel my run…. And we are off….5 minutes in Zone 1; 15
My knee and ankle was a little bit sore before I even started my run this evening but I think that is from sitting down at work for the majority of the time plus I twisted my knee when I got up out of my chair. Jorge started the run with me but he dropped
What an awesome day I had today… I finished work at 4:30pm and then I dashed over to Covent Garden for a quick drink with three fellow Marathon Runners!! What a lovely bunch there are….. They are running for some amazing causes too and an inspiration to all. Tonight’s run is an Easy 20 minutes
Wow what a busy busy day but it has been super fun. I spent the morning finishing off a module for my course then I headed out of the door to play padel for a couple of hours. Had lunch with some friends. Came home for a little afternoon nap before I headed out of
I had the most amazing Sports Massage today by my lovely friend, Joyce. I didn’t even know I was tight in places until she got her magic hands on my body. It is a bit like therapy… I go to her treatment room for a little catch up as she says that she has not
I have set myself a goal of running 10k on 15th December 2024, therefore this week I am following a training plan. Today’s plan is Zone 4 Fast Finish Run! It’s not as bad as I originally thought it would be.. 5 minutes in Zone 115 minutes in Zone 25 minutes Critical Velocity. (Zone 4-5)25
Well I shall swiftly move on from Social Padel this morning. Social it was!! My performance was diabolical. I head home to Kent to see my mum… quick visit into the house and then it is…. ‘I am off out for a run along the beach.. see you soon!’. I head towards the beach and
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
