How is it July already 😭 Seems the more active you are the less you scroll or post , who would have thought 🤣 so here we have 2 for 1 as I can't keep up!!
Progression, a funny thing and so individual! This month for me progression is recognising my limits and looking after my body . I have a tendency the more I struggle the harder I push and the further I drop but I'm learning what a bloody terrible idea that is! Progression is ebbing and flowing , learning and listening to what works for me i cant always push harder so this week I was determined to continue but i chose to run for less time ! Normally this week my energy is rock bottom and I need to rest alot, so I was nervous about running but the whole 3 x a week has kept me motivated and I'm not about to stop so set myself a goal of atleast 15-20mins in my head...
01/07/24 Run #7
Slight change of route due to my back, it seems to have triggered sciatica-I can run and ride but going up stairs gives me sharp shooting pains- apparently movement is medicine for this so I've carried on but I reduced my time to 20mins and took out some of the hills I normally do
👟 warm up
🏃♀️ 20 min run
🧘♀️ cool down yoga plus sciatica stretches added on !
03/07/24 Run #8
👟 warm up
🏃♀️ run 21 mins - first 5 hard and then got into a swing, kept it on flatter ground!
🧘♀️ 20 mins yoga and sciatica stretches
So relieved when I finished today but its done and i added a longer yoga session to have a good stretch after, always by the door so i can catch the breeze after melting 🤣!
This week I'm back to juicing also which feels incredible, realised how much I've missed that ginger morning kick, then as always followed by my smoothie bowl as my post run refuel 👌
Almost made it to 3 weeks 😁
