Pushed up the miles again at the weekend, a little more than I had hoped but actually went better than I thought it would 😁

Apart from a few footpaths that were no longer where they should be, and a few that were… https://t.co/1btSdDbfqq

Hill repeats week 😅 love it or hate it hill work is great for building strength and stamina 💪

Wasn't expecting to manage this last night 😁

After getting back to full time tree work this week I have to say my enthusiasm for doing 100 meter sprint training last night was low!

But I surprised myself by… https://t.co/XUXTdK1EDT

There's a part of this run that's basically just dried, deep, mud moulded tracks. Every time I get to it it reminds me of a race a did back in 2016, The Grim.

At the time I had only been doing 10k obstacle races,… https://t.co/dLbi9ayRuq

One thing my long run yesterday has taught me is that I need to be better prepared in the heat. Although I had plenty of water and drank regularly I hadn't taken into account the loss of salts from my sweating. Where… https://t.co/gdMGFzcdyf

So I decided to up the miles today. I was aiming for around 18 but it ended up as 20 😂

I did alot of this route last year when I was training for snowdon_ultra and it's great to see that some of the brambles I had… https://t.co/SoMoaoBDNO

I love kettlebell workouts. Maybe it's the whole body effect you get or the functional element. Or maybe I just enjoy swinging a big chunk of metal around as it reminds me of my other life as a tree surgeon 😂… https://t.co/Cx8Mgw1tYI

[Start2Run-Fit4Life @SFit4life]

So yesterday's training was hill repeats 😥😂💪🏃

It's taken a few attempts but I now have the perfect killer hill to run up..... repeatedly.....

It's aprox 4 miles from home so I've opted to cycle there before I kill… https://t.co/Icvsg6u1qZ

[Start2Run-Fit4Life @SFit4life]

For the past five weeks I've been following a Kettlebell strength program. I have definitely felt the benefits from this, not just in my sessions but also during my runs.

On my long run today I decided to not look… https://t.co/BRkTko0zwj

A few more pictures for any other nature nerds out there 😂 again from my long run at the weekend.

Since learning the benefits of 'easy' runs I now take the time to enjoy my surroundings more on those runs. And I know how lucky I am to be able to admire the spring flowers in the woods. Bluebells being one of my… https://t.co/YQPaHihanB

Sadly our last session maidstoneymca for now. We are following advice and suspending our sessions until we are told it is safe to restart 😔

Took full advantage of the lighter evening @leedscastleuk tonight. We went on a 2 mile run out into the estate, with Anna and myself bringing up the rear while the boys went ahead. Then I would blow a whistle to… https://t.co/XZBnJCqkBi
