OK, I know it's been a while since I last posted.
Work has been very busy, but I have managed to keep training.
My routine has been increased (slowly) which is good and I feel pretty fit at the moment.
I'm managing to get some sort of exercise in every day, or almost every day of the week and have been able to do so for the last month!
Training usually consists of 2 to 3 runs a week, a longer / ish run at the weekend. Another run at the weekend and a run midweek, this tends to be a hill session.
In between There is the trusty bike session. This is turbo and tough that I've increased to an hour a session, this I normally do 3 to 4 times a week.
Badminton 2 times a week - fast and furious, great for anticipating and quick feet.
On top of all this, plenty of walking and specifically for leg strength, body weight squats! I've been doing these in a variety of sets, depending upon how I feel, what exercise I've done prior etc. However I tend to complete 8 sets of 50 - 400 squats a day. The plan is to up this to 10 sets of 50 or more to equate to 500 squats a day.
Half term this week, so the running will be increased significantly, plus the mileage. The trick with this is to not over do the running. The recommended rule of thumb is to increase by 10%, no more. I reckon, I'll increase by much more, maybe 50%. I've done this in the past and been fine, touching as much wood as possible.
Time will tell.
I'll try to get a number of long runs in over the week, 15+ miles at a time and also have a recce over Pendle.
