Huffing & puffing my way across the park run finish line this morning. Pleased to see my time is gradually coming back down, most likely a result of more consistency in both my run and strength training. . . #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #parkrun #parkrunnz #selfbelief- 1 week ago
Motivation yay! Got my legs moving and knocked off the long run scheduled for today. My legs felt a little sore from Friday's gym session and yesterday's fast run, however once I got going I forgot how they felt I did give a thought to those doing the half marathon at Wellington this morning. Perhaps next year I might give that one a go. In the meantime I plan to do the half organised by @manawatustriders in May. I understand it will be a new course so that will be interesting. After all the warm weather we've had the breeze - 2 weeks ago
I included the new pathway around Queen Elizabeth Park Lake in my run this morning. It is nice and wide which will be great for pushchairs and wheelchairs. There is plenty of seating with picnic tables too. The area has had a real good tidy up and looks much better for it. As for my run, it went well as I focused on maximising time in my endurance pace zone. . . . #runningterritory #parklake #queenelizabethpark #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #selfbelief #runbythelake - 1 week ago
This morning's park run - around 500m from the turnaround at 2.5km.

Yesterday I completed my 50th park run. When I did my first one I was grateful to be able to do a 5km that had all ages and abilities on the start line and it was timed. Park runs are run by volunteers and they are FREE! I never envisaged at my first one that I'd reach 50. This has been achievable because a park run was started not too far away to drive each Saturday. . I've met some like minded people and I like to think I've made some new friends. . I'm gradually getting my time back - 7 days ago
What felt a little uncomfortable three weeks ago is starting to feel comfortable and I needed to slow down a few times. Occasionally I've been dressed ready to run and I've struggled to actually go outside the gate and head down the street. I don't know what that's about & I have overcome it by driving somewhere to start my run. Today was almost one of those days, however I overcame the mind games and ran from home. Silly me! This image was taken alongside the river. At this point I would normally be running up on the stop bank - 1 day ago
And as if doing a 5km event yesterday wasn't enough, I did the ACM 5km run this morning. It was cool and had been raining - perfect conditions. This was #4 in their series and I have improved my time since the first one, despite stopping today to assist the runner in front of me (Mike, a noted marathon runner) who not long after this photo fell heavily. He grazed both knees, but fortunately did not break any skin on his hands although he said they stung. Adrenaline carried him onto the finish line. . . . #run #runner #running
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.
