Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 45] – Time To Get On The Bike

This week has been a week jammed full of biking and it’s been very strange, from only doing long rides with multiple runs to nothing at all, and now just cycling 6 days of this week. Being off training has made it easier as I just feel the need to do some form of exercise and sweat out some energy and biking when I got back was perfect to what I needed.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 43] – New Zealand Secondary School Road Running Championships

This week I competed in the New Zealand Secondary School 4km road race championships. Going into this run I hadn’t given myself very high expectations as I haven’t been feeling my best through my trainings and just my body physically. So I haven’t been able to feel myself reach the points I felt I needed to to be at my best.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 42] – Countdown to School Champs

I’m just less than a week away from my next race, which is a 4km road race against my age school students from around the country. Going into this race I have a bit of mixed feelings, after my last race where I felt I really peaked and raced at my best, I have had a decline post race where I have struggled through many obstacles that seems to get in my way of being my best for this upcoming race.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 41] – Swimming for Success

This week I swam at a new pool, I wasn’t planning on it but with everything going on I ran out of opportunities to go to one of my normal pools. My local one usually opens up beginning of November but due to it getting painted I only got one opportunity to swim in it, I was originally planning on driving the town over to where I have been swimming over the winter but realised their closing times were too early for me to make it with the time I had to go.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 40] – When Things Don’t Work Out – They Can Be All Right In The End

My long run this week went slightly different to normal but it worked and I actually think it was useful. When I went to set up my long run to start I noticed it wasn’t there meaning I hadn’t synched with my watch from my Training Peaks properly and to fix it I needed to have my computer, this wasn’t going to work as I had already driven to my start point and didn’t want to waste the time going back especially with the weather being on and off.
