So, the gloves are off (well, in
fact it’s quite the opposite, they are most definitely on, along with the hat,
thermals and the double socks, as the cold weather has definitely arrived) but
figuratively speaking the hard work has really started this week.
Sunday was my first long run
since before Christmas and was amazing to see so many runners in green. I still
can’t really believe I am voluntarily up and out of the house before 8am to do
‘early club’ and squeeze a few extra miles in before the main run!
The Zero’s were in for a real
treat this week as we gathered like penguins on a cold Wednesday evening
learning plenty of new techniques to help with our training. My particular
favourite of course involved food, Pringles, and BBQ ones at that! Carrying the
delicious snack in your hands whilst sprinting and trying not to tense up and
crush it takes some effort, I think I need to practise more, luckily they are
on offer at Tesco’s!
I managed two good tempo runs
this week, finishing up with an introduction to Friday club. Yes, OK I did have
to be massively persuaded to go along and I bailed out at the one-hour option
but I will definitely go back for more!
This week I am feeling really
positive about the challenge ahead and as I sit with my feet up and a good old
Disney film I am looking forward to tomorrows Sunday run which hopefully will
be my longest run yet!!
