3 weeks ago After a - 3C start to the day, it was reasonably warm running at Henley Lake this afternoon. The lake looked stunning. There was very little wind to ripple the water. Lots of dogs and their owners were also enjoying it. . . #run #runner #running #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner #womenrunners #gofaster #instaathlete #trailrunning
4 days ago The Greytown Park Run uses this trail for its 5km course. It is a lovely course with a few undulations. Last week it was wet and bitterly cold. Today it was around 12C. Due to a lack of consistency with my run training, I have lost some aerobic fitness. I started off reasonably well, but was unable to maintain my pace and resorted to a mixture of running with short walks over the last 1500m. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is unmotivated with grey winter days, the cold, the dark mornings and nights. With the shortest day

4 weeks ago Well today is the slowest of my 14 Greytown Park Runs. I nearly didn't make it to the start line. My bed was so cosy. However I'm glad I did make it. My glutes were sore after some walking lunges with a couple of 5kg plates I did yesterday. My bathroom scales showed I have an extra kg or two on top of an already extra kg or two. Because I left it so late to leave, I did not allow enough time for a warm up. It was 2C so a warm up would have helped. I know I
4 weeks ago Today's run concludes Week 1 of the Faster 5km in 12 Weeks Training Plan I am following. I headed under the foot swing bridge to Henley Lake. My legs felt a bit heavy today, however I am happy with the pace. . . . #swingbridge #footbridge #bridge #5km #training #trainingsession #run #runner #running #runtraining #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner #womenrunners #sneakyshadow
3 weeks ago This was my longest outdoor run I've done for a while. I felt a lot better both aerobically and physically than my short run last week. I was conscious of the need to slow down at times. As a result of my 5km run two Saturdays ago, my pace zones have gotten a little slower. Certain training sessions need to be slow in order to get fast When I got to Henley Lake the sun was very low creating good photo opportunities. . . . #wintertraining #wintersun #sundown #twilight #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit
