Happy New Year!
Hope everyone had a lovely break and got to gorge on copious amounts of chocolate like I did :) I do love Christmas time! Though my scales and legs don't. After coming back from Ireland before the new years I did try and pound the pavement to try and combat the pounds that were piling on and to get my legs back into action. Since our move I have increased my cycle mileage daily from 2 miles to 10 miles so I thought my fitness wouldn't be soooo bad. But cycling is a little different to running. But off we went to try out our new area! The parks are lovely and only a little busy. The main thing I am severely missing is my canal. No matter how dangerous it was it meant I got to run with no car traffic and was off a main road. But I must make do now with what I have and even though it is less canal it is more parks! I managed 2 runs and a couple cycles before I got back into work. The parks were great if a little small (1 mile radius) but I'll find my routes! I have the Berlin halbmarathon coming up with my German friend so I need to get my training game on! There was a little set back as I had to fly home suddenly last week but I am back on track with just over 10 weeks to go!
So my training so far.....one run. It counts though as it means I'm on my way and I can cross it off my big excel spreadsheet.
One run of 30 minutes for 3.66 miles which seemed nice and steady as I went through. It was quite cold and I had just cycled home through a hailstone storm for 40 minutes which nearly killed me. Anyway day 1, done! I had a little yoga sesh this morning to stretch out which was nice and which I want to try and wake up to every morning!
So this is it guys, 10 weeks to go with an intense training schedule for that ever elusive sub 2 hour time! You heard it first here. I will get it done!
Thinking also of hitting a triathlon this June...thoughts?
