See how you feel Monday, we can always swap ASPT for a S&C later in the week. But a good week, plenty of variety, the running is a bit stacked to later in the week, but all nice easy miles this time after some busy recent weeks. Hopefully that will aid the recovery.

MONDAY

Just a little daunting, 6:30 not the best time to go, so I stuck to things I know, rowing 20min, HIIT bike 3 min, 10 min cross trainer, 12 min floor and weights ( dumbbell), hopefully Jamie will give me a lesson tomorrow if I can get there for 4pm.
The gym can be an intimidating place but I’ve actually found even the big guys lifting are actually really friendly. Ok, I’ve encountered the odd idiot at gyms, but everyone gets on with there own thing so it’s best to just stay in your own bubble. Definitely sounds like 15 points accumulated though. The Leg Press is probably the biggest benefit of being at a gym, a great machine for us runners and can doing single leg presses as well. I can put something together if you want, or you have the option for doing classes, or the third option is take advantage of a PT induction. I think you’ll find it’s part of your membership and they can put together a schedule for you. Although I’ve had mixed experiences with that approach in the past (some were useless).

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

A nice easy chatty hour road and track. I also fitted a gym visit with Jamie to induct me on a few machines as a start, while he did efforts ( I will get him to track next week, but at least he took his coat off 😆😆) So a busy day ( and extra points 🫣) 13 miles of walking and running today !
Sounds like a great way to spend the day. Let’s got with 27pts there. Always worth bearing in mind if you have banked extra there is scope to reduce something later in the week if you want, although not necessary if you are feeing good. I joined the PureGym in a hope to get some cross training in whilst the leg recovers. £11.50 for a month (half price first month). Crazy. I almost feel sorry for the independent gyms as must be tough to compete with that. Although I’ve not been yet so it might be horrific 😂 Glad to see Jamie did his efforts, and with his jacket off. Well done Su

I rested, nothing but dog walks! Good to see you enjoying the gym.
That make it sounds like you’ve been on about 5 dog walks 😂 Yeah good to get the heart rate up again, not sure how long I will last there as the cost of membership definitely impacts the clientele.

Battle for a change and Lou as run leader. So warm at the moment! Great run, 13 of us including Jamie. Battle is almost as hilly as Hastings! Hill sprints and strides completed the run back to Lou’s.
This weather is great. It’s warmer that we get in May. Loving it. Nice to have a location change and looked like an enjoyable run. Jamie almost had the same colour top as you guys. Won’t be long and he’ll be running in matching outfits.

30 Mins Swim

9 POINTS

1/2 hr swim straight after work, I’m a steady under water breast stroke swimmer, need to pluck up the courage to practice crawl!
Well done Su, perhaps slowly incorporate some front crawl into each session. So maybe to begin with 25 mins of breast stroke, 5 mins of crawl, then as your confidence grows you can add more time. I think from my limited experience both strokes can have a similar effort required so not sure it would make a great deal of difference to the pts.

What a glorious sunny day, for a bimble with a medal. It was enjoyable and taken at an easy pace. Ps Jamie has bimble tops, he wore it for Beckley, under the coat 😆😆
So that’s why he kept the coat on. He’ll be rocking on full display soon I’m sure. Well done today Su. 150 mins running is never to be underestimated, and nice to run with Lou and Klare as well.

Sorry, no rest for the wicked. 4( min spin at Bannatynes, 🥵🥵🥵, a very easy 10 min swim and ice bath dip, all with Sue W.
4 min spin? I guess 45? It’s fine. I think in time we’ll find a good routine which works well and combines the gym and the running together. Well done Su. I think I’ve realised how effective cross training can be given the pain I have when running at the moment compared to no problems on the elliptical. It highlights the reduced impact those sort of workouts offer.
