A Training Update

I wanted to get back posting so here it is. Unfortunately I got sidetracked by a death in the family. If nothing else it reasserted my ambition to be as healthy as possible. 

In physical side of things is going relatively well. I did set a new summer course PB a few weeks ago at parkrun and a course PB on a 10k at the weekend, though I faded in the last 2k and could have, should have, finished as high as fifth. Still there is next year and I'll continue to trust and enjoy the process. Make your hero the person you are going to be in a year and do the activities that will get you there. 

It's been a rollercoaster but I'm mostly on the right track to get into real PB shape and with winter coming really feel I could set some good times. I do need to work on my ability to cope with heat though! I'm enjoying my running and consistently running 50 miles per week with 1 and half speed sessions, strength training is happening regularly for around 45 minutes a day, much like my running broken into micro sessions and of course my diet is as clean as can be with meat only and water. 

I think the next area for me to focus on is the mental side. Mindset, and not just in running, but in general. There are several facets about this that interest me that I'll try and share but for now I'll try and get that YouTube video reviewing my races since February created.
