The Quest for Consistency
So what's been the landscape of the last few weeks in my training? Illness, some stress and at least 2 attempts to get back on track with consistent training. The main focus is just that; consistency. But also strength work. The strength work has centred on body-weight exercises. I've really got enthusiastic about kettle bell work too. In particular, kettlebell cleans, Turkish get up and single leg deadlifts.
This strength work will help injury prevention and help minimise loss of muscle - remember, I'm old! I'm still finding that I am suffering from tight hamstrings, especially after running. What's the answer? More stretching? More strength work? I don't know to be honest. As normal, suck it up and crack on!
Nearly 2019 and no race plans as yet. I really want to race but can't plan or enter any events until I know what my work location will be. It's looking like I'll be located at Yeovil but not sure when I'll start. So maybe some short duathlon race focus would be good. That said I'm really enjoying swimming, even though I'm only swimming once a week. Let's see what happens in Jan 2019.
