However, after completing a few marathons (eventually) I didn’t seem to have the same excitement about training.

Not being a runner in any way at the time this was a big ask! In those first few years I discovered a love of distance running that inspired the website you’re currently reading. I’d rediscovered training motivation that had been sorely lacking since many years prior when I decided to try and run my first marathon. Having decided to take up triathlon last year I’d registered for the xTerra mountain biking triathlon in Canmore at the end of the summer. Of course, I was really excited at first, however, it was mixed with a little disappointment. All the half Ironman training I had been doing all winter would be wasted. After the COVID pandemic hit and everything was cancelled, I just presumed it would have to wait till next year. When you have finished, set it again and complete a full marathon.I recently got word that the Half Ironman that I had registered for is actually going ahead this year. Swim each mile in one or two visits if you can.ĭon’t forget, every swim counts towards your goal, however small. Below are the first 13 miles of the London Marathon.

If you are a Mo Farah in the pool aim to cross the finishing line in one or two visits. Check out our stretching videos in the blog section. Remember, always warm up before exercising.
