First run for 2020 this morning. My legs felt fine however I was puffing more than usual for this pace. A bit more consistency in my training will fix that. . . . #fitness2020 #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #maturerunner #stretching #chickenlegs #muscles - 3 weeks ago
Another park run under my belt. Perfect conditions this morning. It was kind of cool (till I started sweating), overcast and not much wind. I did my best to catch the woman in front of me and closed the gap a little however the gap then stretched a bit in the last kilometer and the results showed that we finished 5 seconds apart. . . . #parkrun #parkrunnz #greytownparkrun #woodside #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #parkrunnersofinstagram - 2 days ago

Finished my 44th park run this morning. Legs were a bit like "really? " before I warmed up and reminded them what they needed to do. Lack of running over Christmas New Year showed in my results Photo credit - Dave White #parkrun #parkrunnz #greytownparkrun #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #movingforward - 2 weeks ago

Nice day for a #run . I’m wanting to reset the #lactatethreshold on my @garmin as there is no way I’m in the form that I was when the lactate threshold was detected so I manually reset it ridiculously low but it doesn’t seem to have auto detected I was running faster/harder than the current set threshold #coachray #qwikkiwi - 1 week ago
Spot the green cap! The local Athletics & Harriers Masterton (ACM) Club put on the first in a series of fortnightly 5km run/walk events this morning. Given the leg session I had in the gym on Friday (my quads are still sore from sissy squats) and the park run at Greytown yesterday, I wasn't sure what my legs would be capable of today. My training has been lacking consistency so this might help me get back on track. I have not done this course before. We went twice around the deer enclosure (flattened grass) and then up onto the stop
Ironman Swim PB
I’ve taken my most popular training plan and given it a make over for 2020. I’ve taken the 12 Weeks to an Ironman Swim PB – Swim Faster with Smarter Training and I’ve modified to to expand the programme from 12 weeks and include an option for more than 3 swims per week.
Now the programme has created some great times for athletes competing at Ironman events around the world, but it was overly set in stone. Now if you have got between 8 & 24 weeks to an Ironman and are consistently swimming 3x, 4x or 5x per week, I’ve created an option for you. This is regardless of the length of pool 25m, 33⅓yd or 50m pool.
