Building the base

Now the serious training starts. The weekend was about getting the mileage up in my running legs. Today I had my 1-2-1 yoga lesson and for 1 hour I worked myself into a pool of sweat. I'm loving it and it is so intense which is right up my street. I love learning new things especially when I can see the benefits. After a busy day at work I needed to fit in a short run before my swimming session. The September run challenge involves running 6 days a week for the month with the minimum run time being 20 minutes. So being time pressed I did the minimum and then went for my swim training. There won't be any swimming in the desert but it keeps my legs from stiffing up after the running. This is a coached session so we were worked hard and looking at my times, my swimming has slipped. But I'll pick it back up in the coming weeks. I think I'll sleep tonight!
