Trail des Gets, my first 💚 course!
And, my 1st trail run of the year 😬
“Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail” - that’s what it felt like before starting, but I’ve chosen to do events this summer that I kinda know deep down inside I can complete without optimal training, and hopefully enjoy (I mean, that’s why we are doing it right?) And, since becoming a mum, along with a few other life plot twists, training has been far from optimal. But as I’ve started to say, it’s been “inconsistently consistent”!
Every event I’ve done, every run, bike and swim, every workout (however short/long/good/bad), is a penny in the pot of training and experience - it all counts! It might have felt like I’d failed to prepare, but I’ve trained my body over the years so that I can do these things. I might have blisters and floppy ankles and hurt tomorrow (or right now) but the foundations are there.
So, don’t be disheartened if you’re struggling to find consistency with training, or any other habit you’re trying to implement. Progress is never linear anyway.
Just start. Start small and keep chipping away. Do what you can and scale back if you need to - but make sure you keep doing it!
If you want help with getting yourself moving, finding motivation, discipline, a flexible routine and setting goals - please reach out.
Huge congratulations to today’s run buddy, Carolyn! 👏🏼💪🏼
