What does a fitness test look and feel like?

Here I am finishing an endurance threshold test on the bike.
Why?
* Can I physically and mentally push myself to the limit.
* A true test finding your max helps to give the best guidance for workout specifics.
* Quality repeated testing shows growth and appropriateness of training process.
* Testing helps find the exercise needs to reach our goals.

This time last week I was running the Whole Hog. It has been in my bucket list since they announced it and despite all the restrictions did a great job to keep the race in the table.

Weather wasn't great and meant multiple changes to the planned course by the time we got to the start line. It is an epic race with some gnarly steep sections made more difficult with the rain.
So glad to get over the finish line and feel that my preparation and race plan worked well to get me through.
I definitely recommend this as a challenging run!

What an adventure, this was one of my better races. A difficult course with some ridiculously steep climbs at the end that just turned into a mud slide!

Working and playing hard!
Final prep and planning for race day 🏃🏻

It's so important to go into race day with your eyes wide open and preparing for a great race but also what happens if it falls apart.
Experience is vital to know your potential outcomes, so seek advice to make sure you come out the other side.

GOOD TO BE BACK

It's been a while since I last lifted some serious weight. A month before my last Half Marathon race (2 weeks ago) I strained my back enforcing a period of rest and recovery.
Despite this I managed to get myself to the start line with very little running over those weeks but I felt good on the day. Training had good really well up until the injury so I knew I had been in good shape. I ended up taking 3 minutes of my previous PR on that course 🥳🥇

We all have set backs but it's important to stay positive and trust in the training you've done up until that point. It's better to turn up on the day rested and pain free rather than forcing in uncomfortable miles risking re-injury.

Great morning out at the Autumn Forest Run Fest! Managed to take 3 mins off my record on this course for the half marathon, well chuffed 😁

Today I made sure I was drinking regularly and got my nutrition in at the right times to help keep the pace up.
The sandy trail sections are never fun but it's a beautiful place to run.

Happy Easter everyone, if Jesus can rise from the dead then I can rise from a hard race ✝️
