Weekly Recap #1

I’ve had a seriously lazy last fortnight over Christmas and new year, so this weekly training report is just sad – but hope to get back on track with half marathon training this week in preparation for Surrey Half in March.

Wednesday: 8.7 miles on the exercise bike in 34 minutes. 14K to see in 2014!

Saturday: Greatlines Parkrun 5K (29:20). Pouring hard and blowing a gale for this weeks parkrun, but still my second fastest parkrun, and third fastest 5K ever.

Sunday: 6.2 miles on the exercise bike again.

Total mileage = 18 miles exactly.

Hoping for better this week, I have run club on Tuesday, Parkrun on Saturday and runs planned for Thurs + Sunday. Also planning on a new Yoga for Runners video I found on youtube this week to help with my tight right hip.

2014 Goals – Year of the PB

I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions, and prefer to set goals for the year instead. So here are 2014s goals.

Racing Goals

• Run sub-27 5K
• Run sub-1 hour 10K
• Run sub 2 hour Half-Marathon
• Run 10 races for the year
• Try a new distance (should be Canterbury 10 mile race this month!)

Fitness Goals

• Run 750 miles for the year
• Do a yoga session at least once a week
• Work on my swimming until I can swim 1 mile without a break
• Go to running club regularly

Other Goals

• Start saving for a racing bike
• Start trying to get more fruit and veg into my diet
• Finish my bookkeeping course

Trying to get January off to a good start –  I have my first running club training session on Tuesday night, first race on January 26^th and have ordered a smoothie maker!

Good luck with your 2014 goals!
