This week has been a good one. I've managed two runs and two cross training sessions so far, and yesterday did a hilly run home. This was a minor victory - I was tired but most importantly had forgotten my contacts. This meant running home in my glasses, which slipped down my nose once I got sweaty. So from about 5 minutes into the run, I was either pushing my glasses back up my nose or running with my head titled right back and my mouth slightly open... people made room for me on the footpath. Not that long ago having to run bespec'd would have been enough to make me bludge a ride home, so yes, it's a tiny triumph to have gone anyway.
I did a bike session tonight, which felt so wrong. A beautiful summer evening, and me inside at the gym going nowhere fast. I'm following (in very general terms), the
FIRST programme which has worked well for me as an injury-prone plodder. It does mean I spend a bit of time inside on a stationary bike catching up on podcasts (I like
Endurance Planet in particular), but it's working for me.
Do you follow specific programmes? Or do your own thing? Mix it up? And how do you find out what works for you?
