Training W35 – It certainly was more good news

After my “injury” on Saturday I had to take it easier for a few days. Sunday I felt a bit like being hit with something and in this case it was quite accurate as I had been hit by a rock, literally.

My neck and right shoulder blade was hurting so gym was out of the question. Ended up having an easy day off sports and lick my wounds.

Monday was already better but still no sudden movements so a bike ride with kids was a good, easy option.

By the end of the week I was back at the gym and even increased the weights a bit. I feel like pumping iron in the form of pills and liquid is helping already. Mornings are not that fuzzy and I feel like I have more energy on my runs and don’t get exhausted so easily.

So all in all a good week although training was a bit on halt.

Total

• 1 gym training with increased weights
• 1 biker ride 5 km
• 1 trail run 5,5 km
• 1 basic run 3,6 km with 2nd best time on the route!
• + Pumping a lot of iron internally

Target

• Two gym training sessions a week, warm up walking to the gym/rowing machine – Target: To increase muscle strength and toning. Emphasis on butt, back of the legs and core to increase stability of hips and legs to support running.
• Two shorter runs a week. This can be trail or basic running outside. MAX 4 kilometers. I may increase the amount if my leg does not start hurting in a few week… Let’s see. Target: Just to be able to run in the first place!
• Optional! One exercise training a week, this would be whatever fits my schedule. Could be yoga, strength, core, dance or indoor wall climbing/ bouldering . Target: Just to get active and have variety on the plan.
• Compulsory! Stretching and foam rolling after each training Target: To reduce the risk of getting an IT band inflammation in the future

Would you like to support my cause?

I am really close to my target of getting vaccines, water, shelter and education to children in need through Unicef UK (only around 170 EUR away) and would greatly appreciate you helping me in achieving it. You can do that through my JustGiving page. Every euro, dollar, pound helps me to achieve my target of 2000 EUR which will go directly to help children through Unicef UK. Thank you in advance ❤
