#heretoride a great day in CAP with perfect riding conditions. Cheers to @matt_reido for the company and bed for the night. See you next time 🚵♂️ #QwikKiwi #coachray - 18 hours ago
I don't usually run on a Friday as I have a 60 minute gym session with a personal trainer, however I felt a strong need to run and so I did. I still managed the PT session just an hour later. I'm expected to feel a little fatigued on Sunday. It often hits me a couple of days later. #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #nearlygoldcardstatus #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #offroadrun #wintercolours - 2 weeks ago
I had a busy weekend over in the Manawatu this weekend. Yesterday I helped my son-in-law with his @hivesmanawatu stall at the Winter's Day Out market held in Palmerston North and today I headed into the city to do a few things. One of them was to freedom run the park run course. No walking in my training today. I'm gradually regaining my aerobic fitness and it's a confidence building feeling. #freedomparkrun #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #offroadrun #wintercolours #winterafternoon - 3 weeks ago
Park run #51 for me. I am currently only running once a week (including this run), so I ran 4 minutes, walked 1 minute. I realise I need to slot another two runs in each week. I usually am less motivated during winter and last week I didn't even get into the gym until Friday. I felt blah all week. I need some sunshine, like the rest of us ☀️😊 #parkrun51 #parkrun #parkrunnz #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #offroadrun - 2 weeks ago
The pool is finally open so made the most of it for 2,500m this afternoon. Great to be back in there. Pressed the wrong button on my @garmin and didn’t record the last 200m of the Cool Down #garminfail 🏊♂️ #qwikkiwi #coachray - 4 weeks ago
I volunteered again at the Greytown Woodside park run, then had breakfast at The Offering with the park runners. After that I returned to Woodside Railway station & ran to the "start line" of the park run and then ran 4 minutes, walked 1 minute to cover off a freedom park run. This strategy seemed to work well and I improved on last week's effort. My legs felt reasonably good after their solid gym workout yesterday. Now to increase aerobic fitness. #freedomparkrun #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner
