Asda Athletes

Just recently been back from injury for about 3 weeks now. I went on holiday to Turkey for 2 weeks and trained most days while I was there.

Most days I trained early morning at 6:30 finished at 7:30-8:00 and then went straight to the gym for core and shoulders work, I usually stayed in the gym for about 40mins.

I got back from my holiday last Sunday and now am in intense training for an aquathlon in 2 weeks time.

Iv been out of training for 4week now and im really glad to be back training. I did my first full session last night and everything went brilliant, all feels good today with no side effects :)

Over the last couple of weeks i’ve been out of running training due to having a bad knee. This has been really frustrating, been to the physio and going back again tomorrow. However i have been doing lots of swimming and biking, swimming is going well. Went with East Midlands triathlon academy to Bosworth lake to go swimming, Love open water swimming!!!!

The last two weekends I have been to Aldershot running club to do some killer sessions. I went down with my coach Rob Griffiths and we were coached by GB coach Mick Woods. The warm up is normally 2.5 miles ran at 6:40, then we did a 5 minute tempo run, 5×200m, 500m,300m x4 then another 5 minute tempo run and another 5×200, with another 2.5 mile cool down. I really enjoy these weekends and hope to go down again :)

Went to the London Mini Marathon representing the East Midlands.We had to qualify for this race by running in Nottingham, and then the top 8 were chosen to represent the region.

We travelled down to London by coach on the Saturday and stayed overnight at a university nearby. We had to leave really early sunday morning and my race was at 9:17,it was a 5k race which finished at the London marathon finish line.

My final time was 16:25,and i was the second east midlands finisher. Not to bad for bottom aged. First track race on wednesday at watford, cant wait :)
