The Menu is a weekly post detailing what I plan to do over the coming week, it also looks back on my previous week and my learnings from it.
This week marks the second week of a strength phase, looking at increasing my distances and duration of my training, Not necessarily the amount of training sessions, So longer sessions.
1. Had a very sore hamstrings after the Thursday run crew and hills last week, was ginger even Saturday during the famous 15 +/-, a day of not sitting and ant-inflams (yes I know I’m a Chinese Medicine Practitioner so I try and refrain from these) But, it did the trick.
2. 5hr Rides in headwind mixed in with some hills – whole body hangover.
3. It is summer.. But it isn’t.
4. Really enjoying the Quest Bars after training and during the day as a snack (FYI – Quest Protein bars 20+Grams Protein, No Sugars, No Gluten, Actually taste pretty good) www.iherb.com
5. Looking forward to having a boozy night out. Haven’t had one in some time.. And a Sunday sleep in.. What are they again?
6. Going to a Pilates for Runners course on Thursday.. Although I doubt I can commit to regular Pilates classes, I’d happily do some at home. Just need to know what!
7. I have Instagram, although i’m a novice. See what im doing: SteveeeeeP
