Catch up Week & Body Release by the Amazing Lucy Howe

This week is a little bit of a catch up week, as I got an extra week to finish most of the workouts that I didn't do.

I went out this morning for a 2mile time trial. As I was finishing the first mile, I looked at my Garmin and was quite happy with what I saw.
I was wondering if I could hold that up for another mile.

I know that at some point I slowed down, but I said to myself I wanted to finish under 25 minutes, which I did.

More importantly, I went back to my workout logs, and that's why having a log of your workouts is so important, and the first time I ran 2 miles, end of October, I ran it in just under 29 minutes. Which means nearly 4 minutes faster in just under 2 months.

My coach Rachael Hunt immediately told me I should do the Happy Dance!!!

I didn't do too much of it, as I was rushing to get on time to my good friend and amazing therapist Lucy Howe, from Healthy Body Healthy Mind, for my bi-monthly treatment.

I got fully realigned, but more importantly, my muscles seem to be much more fired up than they were 6 weeks ago when I started treatments with her.

I needed a good release of the neck as well, as the last few weeks have been quite hectic and I do tend to keep it all in the shoulders and neck.

So now I'm good to go till early January, and as I'm off work as of Christmas Eve, I will be able to fit in all the workouts in as per the new programme that I will find out about on Friday.

I've already been told that I will get 6 workouts a week. Thinking I started with 4 and thought that was OK. Gulp....

3 runs and 3 strength trainings to make sure my muscles can keep up with the pace for a longer amount of time.

The gym that just opened around the corner will be helpful for some spinning classes and rowing machines, as well as some heavier weights, which I don't have in the studio, as my clients don't require them.

I still will be doing some work here in the studio, especially when it comes to body weight exercises, which are great, stretching and lots of skipping.

Will update after my chat with Rachael on Friday.
