Clatters Chatter: Motivation To Keep Pushing

Recently I have not found the urge to go for a run instead I would just be working on my car or eating food. Because of exams it has brought me down with some pressure I just cant find the…

We have finished school, yay! But now the dreaded exams have got underway. Instead of hearing a gun going off for a running race I’m hearing the exam lady at the front saying “you can start”.

Making pesto is simply and easy, and this recipe combines it with a nice hearty steak for protein. Get the recipe from the link in my bio here @Coach_Ray_NZ #CoachRay #QwikKiwi #foodforathletes #food4athletes #healthyeating

Longest run in perhaps a couple of months. I should have done it yesterday but couldn't be a**ed running in the rain. Could easily have talked myself out of it this morning too, but I thought of the recent inspirational posts of both Rob & Zoe who have been training despite the weather plus I'd confessed to Andrea that I had it scheduled . ‍♀️ I had a plan if my legs wanted to stop and was rapt that I didn't need to use it. I only needed to stop for the toilet and cars . I ran across the

Hot run this morning with a few spots of rain. Thank goodness it was cloudy! Running into a strong northerly wind at times made me work hard. Red faced at the finish. Time for a soak in a bath of Epsom Salts before heading to work. . . #longrun #endurance #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepingactive #qwikkiwi #runner #running #run #runtraining #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #oldandfit #fitover60 #keepingfit #redface #challengeroth

It sounds crazy to make biscuits with chickpeas, but WOW does this work well. Watch friends and your children's faces when they tell you how yummy they are and then advise them that they are made of chickpeas!!!

My little chicken legs ran at a much more consistent pace tonight although there was only seconds difference compared to my result last week in the run leg of the biathlon. I'm quite pleased with that as I didn't feel like I was moving as fast as last week (translate to I wasn't gasping quite as much). I had a couple of runners in sight the entire way. We started at the same time however they pulled away in the first 200m or so. I gained on them every time the route elevated at all and closed the gap but

Holding pace for a large number of reps, is always challenging and this session challenges you by throwing a series of sprints in the middle of things. You will reap the benefits of improved swimming threshold though, so the effort will be worth it. This session is perfect for Ironman and Olympic distance triathletes or people doing longer Ocean Swims.

Another long run in my endurance pace zone done n dusted. It was a bit of a challenge in warm conditions and left me with a red face. I haven't actually run since last Thursday night, however I'm reasonably happy with the consistent pace. . Over the weekend I enjoyed my sister-in-law and her partner staying. I also had my work Christmas function which started at 11am on Saturday and finished at 11am Sunday although I didn't get home until the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday I worked in the garden before and after work as the weeds are responding to

After a good number of leg reps in the gym yesterday, I gave myself permission to run at a pace that felt comfortable in the park run this morning. My legs had felt a bit sluggish in the warm up. So off we go. I didn't feel like I was smashing myself (absolutely gasping for air). My glutes feel strong and I remind myself that this is the benefit of doing workouts like yesterday. Long story short, today was my fastest time since getting back from holiday at the end of October. That was a pleasant surprise. . Photo credits

When not many old people run the Canterbury Half Marathon this is what happens Certainly did not expect an age group win (women's 60-69). Wine and commemorative glasses woohoo. I'm not really a wine drinker, but I think I can make an exception Later I'm sure the wine glasses won't mind being filled with dark beer . I'm pretty stoked actually and my time wasn't too bad. . . #winnerwinnerchickendinner #agegroup #agegrouper #canterburyhalfmarathon #pegasus #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #qwikkiwi #consistency #consistencyisthekey #instagram #instarunner #athleteonholiday

Race day yay Well I am pleased with the result. I got a long run done last Tuesday and I had planned a short run once I started my road trip south, but that didn't eventuate. I didn't stress about it. I thought I'll walk if I have to, but I'll start and I'll finish. I did walk at the drink stations. I could taste the salt from the sweat on my face, so I drank electrolytes and tipped water of myself to cool off. It was very hot and windy. The tail wind was helpful but I found it
