21 hours ago In action at the inaugural Flaxmere Park Run yesterday. Not sure who took the photo. It was posted on the Flaxmere Park Run FB page. Thank you! My legs feel quite good at the moment. I have scheduled today as a rest day. Later I have a long drive home. I suspect my legs will seize up being in a seated position. So once home I'll do some mobility movements to unstiffen them. . . . #parkrun #backintoit #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner

2 days ago I run for breakfast There was a great turnout for the first Flaxmere Park Run. I came in 63rd which is my age Don't ask me how I managed to coincide that! The atmosphere was festive and the 3 lap course was nice to run on. I will travel back & do it again. This was my first fast run for a number of weeks including the 3 weeks on holiday. Today is the first day of a new training plan - Faster 5km 12 Week Challenge. It is similar to the training my coach has previously scheduled, however the
6 days ago Running Base Building 6 Week Training Plan This programme is designed to progress someones running over 6 weeks as they build an aerobic base and get ready to join one of the specific event plans. There are three variations of the programme: - For runners currently comfortable running for 30 minutes, - For runners currently comfortable running for 45 minutes, and - For runners currently comfortable running for 60 minutes. These programmes start off with three run sessions and a flexibility session each week. As you work through the training plan the run sessions get longer and also more intense,
3 days ago I had a solid strength session in the gym this morning. I finished feeling like I'd given 100% - always a satisfying feeling. There was plenty of pushing, pulling, squatting and bending movement today. I rarely hear others grunting their way through a workout, however that's the point I usually get to on the last set as I use all the effort I have left to squeeze out the final reps. I acknowledge we all have different goals. Many of the reps today were done using bands - attached to equipment. This image shows the lat pulldown set up ready
1 week ago Short run to complete a Strava "challenge" and keep me off the couch I'm a Netflix addict, however the TV has remained off and today I got some garden work done. The sun had disappeared by the time I got my running shoes on so I threw a sleeveless thermal on under my tee shirt. Getting my aerobic fitness back is a work in progress. My calves feel sore after Friday's strength session, however I didn't notice any soreness while running. There must be a message there I think. The sunken garden is going to look spectacular when all the

9 hours ago An active rest day today for me, so I got a variety of movements done along with some stretches. Everything is a work in progress. I find it good to video what I'm doing occasionally because often what I think I'm doing and what I am actually doing are not quite the same. My back is not flat when it's meant to be, my leg in the hip CARs has dropped, I'm restricted in the ITB stretch. As for stretching my quads by leaning back. I'm not leaning back far but it is further than I used be able to
