I have always enjoyed swimming (been a water baby since I was tiny) but recently I have really improved and got quite a bit faster. Swimming is a form of cross training for my running however I am keen to start triathlon again. When I was younger I went to triathlon club with my brother but never really fully invested in it. Swimming is a great form of active recovery but can also be a hard workout. Some say swimming is boring, which can be true if you just plough up and down the pool but if you mix up your training, it can be more enjoyable. Working on different aspects of swimming (speed, endurance and different strokes) can improve your overall fitness and ensures you are working all muscle groups.

17th January - Sussex schools XC I managed to come 2nd in this race and was over the moon when I got the letter for English schools. My plan for the last two months was to work on my speed, however this didn't really happen due to my injury. It was bound to happen with race after race nearly every weekend with my awful running mechanics and with chronic tendinitis I didn't know I had. Despite this I was proud of my performance this weekend but for me the weekend was more about having a good time with the best people. Loughborough: 1
Imogen: 0 Yesterday was the UK inter-county British Cross Challenge in Loughborough. I had been looking forward to this race all season until I became injured. A few days ago I put a poll on my story about whether you would be more interested reading a race recap or a week in training leading up to the race. I am going to do a brief week in training (starting mid-week) with a race recap after. As you may have seen on my story, I won @veganhan’s giveaway with Ninja which is super exciting because I have always wanted one. (thank you again)
Having not posted a recipe in a long time I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do so, and what's better to do on a rainy/snowy day? However I didn’t know what to make. I put a poll on my Instagram story to see what you guys wanted to see. The sweet recipe steamed ahead and won the poll by a long way. (sorry to everyone who voted savoury, the next recipe will be savoury; most probably falafel) |
