Ok, I’m not taking it for granted that with family celebrations planned that I can get through this week, BUT I’ve managed the first run, which I did as the 5k. Feels like the gym sessions are beginning to benefit, very pleased.

So - with a deep breath, fingers crossed for the rest of my week.

In this unforgiving weather , good luck to all of us.

Well done with the 5k... what's next 3.5 or 7? I don't know why but I always tend to leave the longest distance till last :)

I start week 4 on Monday, probably the 4k I think...

What gym sessions did you do? Good luck indeed, cooking this week! 😓

So, 3 times a week I get to the gym, and it’s a mix of leg compressions, leg extensions, sideways leg extensions and bike.

Then sometimes I can go for a swim on my short run day.

Roll on the cooler weather for everyone.

Sounds like a very good routine. At least you'll have air con in the gym!

Ordinarily I’d like to do short, medium then long. But the combination of awkward weather and a special celebration involving a bit of travel is messing things up. Ideally I’d like to do the long one next, then it’s in the bag. Fingers crossed! Good luck with week 4!

Not what you're looking for?
