Eleven strength training sessions in a month, and it’s time for the results of the MyPT Transformation Challenge! Last week was mentally quite hard – resisting the urge to turn to chocolate after a bad day and craving sugar as a pick-me-up for tiredness was tough. I also struggled with a three-day headache which affected me … More Week 4 Check-In: MyPT Transformation RESULTS
Week 3 – one week to go! Last week I felt like a bit of a failure in terms of exercise – due to bad planning I only managed to fit in two sessions at MyPT Studio (plus a couple of yoga classes at the OM Yoga Show). It sounds silly, but it’s a bit … More Week 3 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
So I’m now halfway through my four-week Transformation Challenge with MyPT Studio, and I won’t lie – there were a few wobbles this week. Mainly due to lack of planning surrounding food! Like last week, I managed three workouts – a kettlebells class, and two circuit sessions – plus a 12 mile bike ride with … More Week 2 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
Week 1 done! I survived the first seven days of the MyPT Studio Transformation Programme with some interesting highs and lows. The main goals are 3-4 workouts per week, drinking 3L water, and sticking to a lower calorie nutrition plan – for me this has meant smoothies for breakfast, salads or leftovers for lunch, and … More Week 1 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
Happy October! I can’t quite believe we’re already in the 10th month of 2016, this year is flying by. The last few weeks have been particularly hectic at work, and my eating habits have definitely deteriorated. Normally I try and take a packed lunch every day, and batch cook on the weekend so I can … More MyPT Studio Transformation Programme
With 1 week to go until the Run Reigate 10k, I have pretty mixed feelings about my training. Sunday was the Great North Run and I will admit it knocked me a little thinking that I was missing out, even though I know deferring was the right decision. I never like giving up on a challenge but … More 10k training update
On Sunday I headed to Beddington Park, just down the road from me in Sutton, for the Decathlon Running Series 5k. I walk, run and cycle in the park a lot as it’s such a lovely space, and a great escape from the urban sprawl of Croydon, so when I heard that Decathlon were holding a … More Decathlon Running Series – Croydon
If you’ve read my last post then you will know that for a number of reasons, I’ve made the decision not to take part in the Great North Run in September, and instead focus on training for Run Reigate 10k. This hugely popular local race launched with a half marathon in 2014, and last year … More 10k Training with Run Reigate
Last weekend I cycled 80 miles. I sat on my bike for 6 hours, and was out on the course for 7 hours and 20 minutes. This week I decided to give my body a break and did no excercise at all, apart from walking lots. I also had a Deep Tissue Massage which was … More Listen to your body
As you may have seen if you read my blog post last week, I have decided to go for it and take part in RideLondon, which is now in 3 weeks time – eeek! As part of that I have joined Team Asthma UK, in order for my efforts to support other people who also … More Team Asthma UK
