The 2025 Training Diary - Week 6 💫

Sessions this week;

💪🏼 4x strength (2x Upper, 2x Lower)
🏃‍♀️ Run (12km with 2x 2km tempo)
🏊‍♀️ 2x Swim (1x lesson, 1x solo TBD)

Highs;

- Breakthrough with swimming this week thanks to

- Strength continues to fly 📈 🚀

Up at my 1RMs for a few reps 🤩

Challenges 😬

Fatigue crept in this week.

It hasn’t affected session performance but it’s definitely been more of a mental effort to get up for sessions and push the progressions needed 🧠

Most enjoyed;

Being on the legs and running!

Don’t get me wrong strength training will always be my no 1 bag but running gives me the opportunity to train outdoors and gets me into a creative mental flow - of course when I’m cruising at my happy pace 😆💚

Thoughts 💭

Be a happy athlete 💛

Being a happy athlete is for everyone.

Whether you’re a serious hobbyest, enjoy pushing yourself to the limits of performance, entering events, just starting out in fitness, or simply move for the joy it brings - you can be a happy athlete 💛

Here’s 3 Mistakes to AVOID if you’re new or returning to Running 🏃‍♀️

1) Going from A to B as fast as you can 💥

Slow down Usain, you’re not ready for that yet

Start running at a slow conversational pace or if you’re Heart Rate tracking ~110-130bpm, or your Zone 2

Pace will come when you’ve built and aerobic system that can handle full send

2) Heart Rate zones? What Heart Rate Zones? ❤️

You’re going to have to do some walking

You’re trying to continuously run but your CV system, muscles, joints, ligaments aren’t ready for that so your heart rate sky rockets 🚀

Run for a minute, walk for 2 minutes, then progress to run for a minute walk for a minute and so on

3) Giving up 😔

You attack running like a mad woman, and go about it the wrong way, so much so you just HATE it

You can’t recover
You get muscle strains
You get shin splints

Patience 🙏🏼

No one cares that you need to walk

No one on strava or garmin cares about your pace

If you want to start enjoying running or become a ‘runner’ and stay injury free you’re going to have to slow down, do some walking and be patient

You’ll see a big difference after 3-4 weeks when you’re still running and enjoying it, feeling fitter and stronger

If you’re stuck with you’re running let me know and I’ll help you out 🤝

See you out there ✌🏻🏃‍♀️

Training is the easy part right?

We all love training

But it’s nutrition that’s the challenging part for you 👀

What to eat?

How much to eat?

When to eat?

How to fuel your training?

How to manage social occasions?

It can be really confusing, and then add trying to plan and prepare your meals on top as well 🤯

Nutrition has the power to unlock your very best shape and also to sky rocket your performance in training 🚀

But you just can’t get it right

You eat too little, feel hungry all the time and under recover

It then comes out sideways and you end up over eating at other times of the week 🍬

But you’re afraid to eat more calories because you don’t want to gain weight

You want to feel lean, fast and strong 💪🏼

Nutrition is simple but it’s not easy

It’s about finding out what works for you, which takes guided discovery

How to be in great shape 💪🏼

Perform like a bad ass 🚀

Live your best life 🍔

Drop your biggest challenge below, or send me a DM and I will happily help you find the missing piece of the puzzle 🧩❤️
