Running progress

Hi there

So this week i didnt want to go for distance, so instead of building on my 9km run, i took it down to 4km again and tried to improve my speed, and am proud to say i showed some improvement.

Run 1
Distance 4km Time 37:07 Calories 354

Run 2
Distance 4km Time 35:26 Calories 376

Less time more calories very excited with this progress on my way to this race, know alot of improvement needed but ill get there. *determined face*

Nat has come up with some ingenious plans to get my running alot better, which is needed, where theres a problem theres always a plan and solution from her its great. She is just one of those no problem find a way glass half full kind of people. So her plans .... train running with 3kg ankle weights when they come off time should be better, and .... lets change the training up we live in South Africa, beautiful beaches, lets go training on the beach, soft sand sprints ... harder wet sand sprints. So first try at that should be Tues heres hoping it makes me fitter, faster, stronger and healthier ;)

cheers for now

That awesome running spot i found

Hi all

So last Sunday i ran that route along the beach with my friend Jules.

Statas
Time 1:21:44 Distance 9km Calories 669 Avg HR 123 Max HR 164
So a little note on that time haha we got from the Casino to Usharka and took a walk out over the ocean on the pier and stood out there a good while before running back to the Casino.

I really enjoyed this run it was beautiful, cool, pleanty of others biking and running, nice and flat. Very pleasing!

I noticed this time the waves where calmer then when i took the walk with my friends and found this route, so was maybe reconsidering Surfing again haha really want to try it and it could be good cross trainig .... but then i get into gym on Monday morning and Nat tells me her story of being out in the ocean that weekend, they where out paddling and all of a sudden her friend loryn says shes burning her ear is burning ... then her side ... then her leg, then Nat feels burning on her wrist, they look around ... blue bottles  EVERYWHERE million of the little buggers. One is stuck on Nats wrist under her watch and she has to push the watch tighter down to get it off OUCH. So i then again started to get nervous and unsure about wanting to surf.

This past week i focused on biking some cross training see if it improves my running speed and distance. I dont know if this is right but i have noticed that the more weight i loose and lighter i get the faster my running seems to get.

Back to some serious running this week ahead :)

Blog again soon
