Saturday 18th January A few weeks ago I was’t going to do this event. My knee was pretty painful just walking up a few steps, let alone trying to run a hilly half marathon course. But when your physio (and race winner) reckons you’ll be able to manage it, I couldn’t say no. I was… Continue reading Taranaki Off-Road Half Marathon

Week 16: Period Power
After the whole peanut butter drama of Sunday, I still wasn't feeling great on Monday, but managed to at least show up for my training, even if I didn't quite have it in me to complete the swim set. But its better than crying at home, which has often happened on a Monday when I… Continue reading Week 16: Period Power
Rotorua Half Marathon 2019
Hot and hilly pretty much sums up today’s race, but happy with my performance even if I still have lots to work on. Woke up at my usual time before 5am, but managed to get back to sleep and wake up just before my alarm at 7am. Legs are feeling a little sore from yesterday’s… Continue reading Rotorua Half Marathon 2019
Week 14: Loosing It
This week has felt pretty stressful. I’ve lost my routine, momentum and motivation. Having my first weekend off since July has really thrown me out of routine, add to that some sick cows and Mother coming to visit, its been a hectic week! In amongst all that chaos there has been some excitement; I was… Continue reading Week 14: Loosing It
Week 10: Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
So apparently I had written last weeks post but not actually published it, meaning this week you are treated to a double dose of my training updates. This week has been a pretty solid week of training, with 6 days in a row of glorious green boxes on Today’s Plan. But what you cant see… Continue reading Week 10: Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Week 9: Making Connections
This last week has been a bit of a whirlwind and I can’t believe I’ve had to get up extra early on Tuesday morning to try and get this done as I totally lost track of the days. I feel that so much has happened this week, but also so much hasn’t. There are lots… Continue reading Week 9: Making Connections
Week 8: Here we go again
This week I am getting back to training. After having a week off to recover and try and get my eating in order, yet again, I am feeling refreshed and ready to go. But this time being more mindful to recover well and eat more. Lets see how I get on… My need for a… Continue reading Week 8: Here we go again
Base Build: Week 6/6
Week 6: Craving consistency The roller coaster of triathlon training took another nose dive this week. I was feeling pretty good after the success of last week, but cant seem to string together more than 8-9 days of decent training. It may be because I was writing my post about Imposter Syndrome and my mental… Continue reading Base Build: Week 6/6
Base Build: Week 5/6
Week 5: Getting it done After the feed back from my Life on the Farm post, I headed into the week feeling super motivated and leaving all my excuses behind in last week. My MX Endurance team mates have some incredible jobs, and often several of them, so what is my excuse of not getting… Continue reading Base Build: Week 5/6
