Train to Run #3

So week 2 came on Monday 29th January and went in a flash! Again my goal was to clock up 10km; the reasoning behind this from Coach G is that "we need to build up endurance to make sure the body can handle the force over the race distance. Speed will come".

I ended week 2 by attending the Train to Run class with Coach G at Regents Park on Saturday morning (pictured). We side lunged, burpeed and tricep pushed our way through 60 minutes of class! We also had a track available to do lots of laps in between all of the get toned, get lean and get strong drills. I did my final 2km for the week by running to the tube station to go to class!

Monday and Saturday runs (approx 2km each)

The other 8km came on the Monday (2km) on a treadmill, and Friday (6km) also on a treadmill. I managed to fit in a yoga class, a 15 minute kettlebell session, a day of TRX training, stretching and teaching 4 Nike Training Club classes in the same week with one rest day on Wednesday!

Week 3, is another 10km in a week job, but Coach G has told me to "have 2 days of rest this week". I smiled sweetly while thinking, eeeek, how will I find two days to rest... After this "we need to make a little more progress on the endurance so this will be the last week of 10km". So I have a week to come to terms with this...

The phrase 'giving up' is NOT in my vocabulary so it's onwards I go! Afterall, I'm always telling my classes that 'pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever'...just got to work hard, stay positive, and have my end goal in mind!
