Training last week wasn’t that great…. I managed three gym weight sessions, one swim and two runs. I did also go for long walks on holiday however I know this is not enough. I am finding it hard not to hit the gym so regularly and up the cardio.
Highlight of this week was running on holiday from John O’Groats to Duncansby lighthouse, I had clear views out to the Isle of Stoma and not a soul in site, just beautiful. The time wasn’t great as it was very hilly but was lovely to be out by the coast.
Yesterday I bought a turbo trainer. I’m quite excited about having equipment at home for training. I am a very timid cyclist, hate going out for a long ride by myself, and if the weather isn’t great I generally don’t ride. Being able to cycle at home will hopefully improve my cycling, but the main reason is to get me to cycle regularly. I also admit I cannot repair a puncture so I have booked myself onto a bike maintenance course in March.
Next week I have planned my week out, so my mileage will be much higher, and I only plan to be at the gym twice.
