This week in running - back in the groove

Let's celebrate running in shorts again! Love summer

Weekly kms: 37 km + hills

This week has been all about getting back into the swing of things after our time away. My long run was 15 km. It was hot, it wasn't especially fast but I got it done. Hills were after work on Monday. The aim is to consolidate my repeats and build up my strength so that I am doing 7 or 8 quality repeats. I'm not there yet but that is the goal.

The other change this week is that I have started doing Tabata style strength workouts. 20 seconds strength, 10 seconds rest for 8 cycles. So hard! I made the mistake of having way too heavy a weight for my reps... and paid the price! The second time I did it I scaled back the weight and it was much more successful. The pushup sets are still a work in progress!
