I’ve made and maintained a positive start to the year when it comes to running & exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve managed to get to the gym – two or three times a week. The lovely team at Format Fitness have been putting me through my paces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve also joined a new run club @ the Byrds in Leytonstone. It’s at 7pm on a Tuesday night for a 5k run up to Whipp’s Cross and around Leyton Flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s pretty good to be running regularly again, and even the 1\u00b0C run this morning was enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m also saying goodbye to my massage wand; Thumper – having upgraded to the Theragun mini. It felt like it was a super-luxury purchase. However, after some Achilles problems last year, it’s already paying dividends on loosening up my calves and hips. The associated app also provides some neat stretching routines after my runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m adding more races to my calendar this year. I am growing in confidence. I’m very much looking forward to joining my “littlest” brother Charlie. We will take on the Manchester Half in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
