7 days ago Yesterday our tour group of 15 were dropped at the start of the section of Wall which is part of the course for the half marathon on Saturday. 3.3km later we arrived back at what will be the start & finish line area. Climbing up & down steps is a challenge as I train on the flat! It took me a while to get "warmed up". The smog was quite evident. Not all the wall is steps. Some parts were slippery. It is amazing to think how old the Wall is and how it was built. It took me 2
5 days ago The Great Wall of China half marathon is done and dusted. I was an hour quicker over the wall section than the recce we did the other day. My legs felt better and I was a bit more confident, even running down some of the more shallow steps. It was an amazing event. Feels quite surreal to have done it. . . . #halfmarathon #21km #event #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #runner #running #greatwallofchina #greatwall #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #maturerunner #womenrunners #mizuno #medal #bling #oldandfit #fitover60 #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #coachray #coachraynz

2 weeks ago Beyond the 4 legged supporters in the paddock are the park run runners gathering this morning for their 8am start. The supporters were very intrigued. This morning was my first run in 2 weeks. I have been continuing my strength sessions in the gym, however I've felt overloaded with other life things recently and put my running on hold. Now I've got a few stressors sorted, I am back on track. . . @parkrun .nz #parkrun #parkrunnz #greytownparkrun #woodside #greytown #run #runner #running #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner #womenrunners #gofaster
5 hours ago Great wee run this morning to turn the legs over before the @kaiteriteri2mapua tomorrow. #coachray #qwikkiwi ♂️
2 weeks ago DB chest press at my favourite gym. Gradually building up my overall strength. It certainly has improved. Last year I was only able to shuffle a 30kg bag of cement around on the garage floor to move it. Now I can actually lift it to take it to where I need it. . . . #smallgains #chestpress #gym #gymtime #muscles #muscle #workout #gymopenallhours #waiweight #patience #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #runner #running #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #fitness #muscleworkout #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women
4 Weeks To A Faster 1500m With Only Two 2km Per Week
As you follow the programme you will find yourself swimming your 1,500m faster. Now whether that is a PB or not will depend on how fast you have swum in the past, but it will definitely be faster at the end of the 4 weeks than it is now. With this programme people improve on average nearly 2 minutes, with some people improving by over 10%.
Designed for triathletes who have limited time to train but can squeeze two short 2km sessions in each week. The primary goal of this training plan is to prepare you to swim 1,500m faster than you did at the start of the programme.
