It's Easy When It's Easy

5 miles at 5am

Understandably, legs took a while to get going but after mile 1-2 we was flying. Calm heart rate also 📈

Busy day today so this was necessary.

✔️

Went to the gym and lifted weights tonight whilst the England women’s won the Euros which I was watching in between sets! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

What a game and what a team! They actually did it 🏆

Got abit drunk Friday night and acted a fool, last time for a while - about to go ghost mode! Apologies in advance.
There is work to do.

Why?

Why train? Why bother doing something you don’t wanna do, when you could be at home relaxing? I hear this often.

I’ll ask you this. Why brush your teeth? Why change your bedsheets? Why put the washing on the line?
Do you find enjoyment in these tasks? I doubt it.
They are a means to an end, this should be your attitude towards exercise & movement, you keep yourself in shape physically but most importantly mentally. It’s a necessity.

We are living in a world where everything is driven towards comfort and convenience so you are swimming against the tide constantly, faced with fad diets, magic pills, fat stripping milkshakes, all bo****ks designed to cater to those afraid to do what’s necessary, I truly believe we all know what we need to do to make our lives better, … keep at it and you will reap the rewards.

Happy Friday.

10 miles. Wanted it. Got it.

They said you can’t build muscle with bodyweight. They also say you can’t maintain muscle with running.
This is all I do 🤷‍♂️

Love the journey, the body will take care of itself 💪

F**k that run and everything it represents, talk about humid, I was struggling so much I was gonna knock it on the head at every milestone I approached, first 5k, then 5 miles, then 10k, then 7 miles, then tricked my mind into running ‘just’ another 5k which took me to my goal of 10miles.

I wanted to keep my av heart rate below 130 and missed it by 1 beat per minute. Ahh well.

Set a goal and give yourself the respect to get there. Your body will find a way.

A man of my word, my U8’s tournament went on a little later than anticipated but that’s no excuse. Besides some of my little warriors didn’t believe I was going to run after we all had gotten drained by sun. This one’s for you lads hahahahah.

5 miles, it wasn’t easy, it wasn’t fast nor pretty but we got around and got it in, that’s all that matters.

Hope you all had a good weekend & if you didn’t, tomorrows the beginning of a new week so set some goals and get after it. Make yourself proud, the first step is always the hardest. ❤️

First run in a week and it was a hot one, then ‘easy’ 10k went out the window from the first step 😂😂,a sun 50min half, not bad, I think those speed sessions have definitely had an impact on my performance, felt comfortable but challenging if that makes sense.

I wanna run a few more events before the year ends and go for some new PR’s. Let’s go.
