Day 1 - A new way of dealing with my training
So I have decided after free-balling the last year of running to treat myself as if I was a client of my own. A fully fledged running training plan, a fully formed strength and conditioning program as well as all of the other stuff that I do for my clients. Here we go...
Goal
To complete CTS Dorset (30 November(, ideally in the top 10.
Sub-goals
Stay injury free.
Lose weight (6-8kg) to increase power-to-weight ratio.
Easy. I have a running plan, a nutrition plan and a workout plan and now all I need to do is stick to them. Over the coming blog posts (I plan on doing one a day...accountability and all that) I will put more and more details about each and why I am doing them as well. I am a fitness professional, so a lot of what I am prescribing to myself is what I prescribe to my clients. Running wise, I currently train about a dozen runners of all different backgrounds and distances. I have ultra runners, 5kers, back-of-the-packers, event winners and up and comers and everything in between...so I am hoping I can see a tremendous difference in my training and the outcome...more than that I am hoping I will be able to DO AS I SAY NOT DO WHAT I DO.
DAY 1 - Rest day
Well that was easy. I did nothing, well no running or s&c. I did lead a Nordic Walk, a crisp 2.68 mile walk around the Downs in Bristol. (Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/2652510954) Apparently I burnt almost 600 kcal on this little walk...sometimes I feel like Strava is full of shit. Leading these works are a great way of upping my kcal burn, but also getting in good, efficient practice with the poles, something that will pay dividends on the longer ultras next year...oh yeah and I get paid and have a great gossip with those on the walk!
