Day 15

An easy day – just some weights at the gym…. made sure I stretched well, too.

Day 14

That’s the second week on the journey completed… ran just over 11km today, around the bays – took about 1:13.  This was a much easier run than last Sunday – flat, and no gale-force winds – although today’s northerly wasn’t just a gentle breeze!  Certainly enough that I came back a couple of minutes faster […]

Day 13

What a morning!  First cricket – I coach a team of 8-9-year-olds – a good effort, but not a win this week. Then I ran 3k on the treadmill – tried to make it easy pace, but it felt hard! Next on the agenda was a weights session – trying to work at a level […]

Day 12

Rest day – no running today, just a Pilates class.  Challenging again – especially upper body – not enough strength or flexibility.  Plenty to work on!

Day 11

Oops – forgot to write this yesterday! Ran 5k on the treadmill, followed by ExpressFit.  5k on treadmill gets boring, so varied the pace – not too much, cos I knew what was coming with the gym class! Actually managed that better than usual – had a few of my favourite exercises – squats and […]

Day 10

Ran home from work – over 7.5 km – pretty slow, about 53 minutes.  It was into the southerly wind all the way, and I was carrying a back pack, so quite a tough workout, although obviously I wasn’t pushing the pace. I’m feeling some soreness in the left sacroiliac joint again, but I think […]

Day 9

ExpressFit class this morning – a severe workout!  I can do squats, prone holds and the skipping station no problem – but really struggle with burpees (especially with a weight bag added to the drill!), jumping squats and jumping lunges just too hard!! Tonight was the 5k series down at the waterfront – quite a […]

Day 8

Just a gym workout today – strength training. I’m hoping to spend time each week on endurance, flexibility and strength.  While building these elements into my running schedule is essential, I need to strengthen complementary muscles and massively increase my flexibility if I want to start to regain some speed. I’m looking forward to seeing […]

Day 7

About 10k today – 69 minutes.  So that’s week 1 done and dusted, with a total of 30k…. the blog kept me honest! Interesting run today…. one long hill (about a km) – up from Hataitai Shops to Roseneath for Wellingtonians – the best part about this route in windy weather is that I get […]

Day 6

Day 5 was a much needed rest day!  My abs were so, so sore after the gym session on Thursday!  Must have been the wretched spidermans! Today was an easy 3k, in under 20 minutes.  OK, not fast – but good enough. Just as well for this blog – I really might not have gone […]
