Welcome to this week’s one more thing. I’m really enjoying this idea of doing something we don’t normally do, or don’t like doing, but know is good for us, for a week.
I think we all have some part of us that we neglect a little in our regimes... I know several runners who don’t do arm and shoulder work... I avoid a few things still.
So, it’s time to identify what we should do more of and find a couple/few time slots into our weekly schedule. Have a great week everyone, the weather is a little kinder than it was at the weekend so far so it’s time to work.

I haven’t quite made it to three gym sessions a week but I am doing two really good ones so rather than take away by pushing for more I am going to stick at that because they are making me feel quite strong and I am working really hard in them.
Squats and planks, once a week
Pilates 10 min videos twice a week
And a good weight session twice a week.
Three runs a week (2x5km and 1x2km speed) and a walk.
Yey! Actually did s&f twice this week (miracles do happen). I decided to do them 1st thing like I would with a run. The great thing was - afterwards I felt really energised so whizzed round cleaning bathrooms, changing beds & wotnot. Done lots of hours in the garden too.
I think this is what I need to do - do it 1st thing, because the later I leave it the less enthusiasm I have.
Going to Llandudno tomorrow so all my running etc. Will be replaced by walks hope this lovely weather holds out 😎
Well done on getting those S&F sessions in, great news. I am with you, my walk back from the gym, I am buzzing. 😀💪. Have a great holiday and enjoy your walks. If you want to do any reports on walks don’t forget our sister site Active 10 which used to be walking for health
Hi, I managed one pilates session last week, but DID do 2 sets of planks after both runs. Great idea to do them when still warm and dressed in correct gear... I will keep these up, hopefully adding a third set this week.
For the new exercise I will add in some arm presses/raises this week to help combat the flabbly underarm bits😆... ( can't remember the correct name, but I do remember how to do them. 2 sets of 8.
Hi Sue, the exercise I was thinking of is actually for the chest, but I checked out some Rosemary Conley videos on you tube and remembered these for arms.
I am recovering from tonsillitis so challenging myself to NO running for 10 days! The positive thing about this is I have also promised that although I am resting from running, work, hobbies etc I am going to do gentle stretching every day. 5k Race for Life on Sunday - should feel raring to go by then!
My one thing is carried over from last week... I didn’t swim. Been carrying a heavy cold for a week now and just going running a couple of Ks here and there was hard, I managed 14 over the week. I did walk a lot to make my on foot distance up to 71k. Getting a tad worried that I’m having issues while i should be on HM training... need to get a 10k in soon.
