Discipline > motivation :

Funnily was talking about not relying on motivation with a few of my clients over on the weekend. And then wham, bam! It happened to me this week.

Your motivation will ebb and flow throughout your training and journey to your goal. Yes, motivation will help you get over the starting line in your journey to your goal. But discipline is one of the main tools what you’ll need to get you to your finish line.

What’s your thoughts on that? How have you built and improved your discipline?

Ooooh a long tempo and hard effort session today in the glorious UK sunshine ☀️ . So let’s do the breakdown of the session: 17km breaking it down into:
- 5 km warm up at an easy pace
- 35 mins of tempo and hard effort intervals
- 6km eaaaaaasy cool down pace strumming along to the energy reset @wearelupa session

Route took me through Victoria Park, Canary Wharf and along the Hertford Union Canal. Hertford Union Canal is a pretty nice canal with lots of super nice house boats that make me consider buying a house boat to live in!

PHEW! This week’s a recovery week for me with two rest days👐🏾. Accurately timed with a much-needed haircut meaning I didn’t have to worry about when was the best day to wash my hair (first world problems huh).

Only one strength session on the plan this week, accurately timed with a pure CrossFit gassy WOD .

Hoping to get a 1:35-1:40 half marathon time in the next few months in the lead up to my sub 3:30 marathon attempt .

No idea if that goal is overly ambitious, but let’s see shall we? You never know unless you try! So kicking off with intervals at 7:05 min/ mile today. Meant to have done this yesterday and probably going to regret it tomorrow morning when I do a 30 min time trial to adjust my HR zones....ooopsy

And now here’s your reminder that strength training and lifting a bit of iron is GOOD for you.

As with any journey there’s always going to be highs and lows. The past few weeks I’ve noticed a greater comfort at running at some higher paces some speed under my legs and I’ve also had some great strength wins (hello front squat PB 🏋🏾‍♀️💪🏾👋) .

In the interests of keeping it all 💯, not every session goes to plan.

Take today’s track session : a) ran TOO fast in first two reps. And B) I under-fuelled throughout the day. The two coupled together meant I BONKED HARD. I continued the session but it definitely wasn’t one of my finest...

Instead of seeing this as a waste, what I can do is look at the lessons I’ve learnt and what I need to remind myself:

Lessons learnt the hard way: don’t skip meals and don’t overdo it in your first two reps🙈

Have you had a similar experience?

Anyone know when I can put away my winter gear and finally pull out the shorts?

I’d like to commence Operation Tan-Those-Legs soon please ☀️

Who knew adult life was partly about getting excited about having deep cleaned the whole house, cooked dinner, attended a laser clinic appointment AND done a 10km tempo run all by midday on a Saturday morning.

Then again, if only I was this organised every Saturday...

Let this sink in: 20 minutes of DOING something is better and more valuable than 20 hours of THINKING about doing something.

A few minutes getting up from your desk is better than sitting down all day.

Something is better than nothing (most of the time...there are exceptions).

(Working on that front squat: Changed the grip today, which stopped the back arch I usually get when I increase weights. Depth is another piece on the list!)

All set and ready for tomorrow’s long run. Can’t wait to run to this week’s bakery of choice 👀 . This week’s been a really good week: hit some training goals and my clients have been making so many cool forms of progress beyond the surface level kind.

Now let’s see what tomorrow’s run holds. Fingers crossed the weather holds out please

Carbe diem 🙏🏻
