7 weeks to go
It has been a busy fortnight, with running, media interviews and normal life events.
Training wise, I am now right in the mix of my last building block. Although I have plenty of runs at the so called easy pace, last week I had a couple of mid run faster pace runs, which saw me hit some new highs. Honestly tempo sessions are not my favourite, they play with my head as the pressure seems higher to pull out some good numbers. I also find that my body does not recover as fast for the next days run, when I have had to up the pace. However I hit my targets and am happy to that all is still on track for November 1.
Nutrition wise I am starting to take on more calories to ensure I am meeting my energy requirements. It is easy to think I won’t need anything before an 80 minute run, which if I didn’t have to back it up the next day perhaps I wouldn’t, but you do start to notice the energy levels drop off quite quickly towards the end. So making sure I at least have a piece of toast and jam in my stomach before I lace up the runners.
Of the trails we had an interview on 5AA with David & Will, which went well and we enjoyed being on their morning breakfast show and appreciated the support. We also had an interview with the Daily Mail, so hopefully we will see that come out this week.
We are almost ready to launch an exciting challenge to get you guys, the general community, involved in helping us to hit our million dollar target in November, so keep an eye out for that on our socials.
This Saturday we have a Pop-up shop, run by a group of friends who have all collected pre loved clothes to sell, with all proceeds going towards our goal. So if you are located in Adelaide get down to 207 Richmond Road, Richmond between 7.30am and 2pm to grab a bargain.
The week ahead is looking massive, and will be a reminder of what is to come in November, but I will let you know all about that next Monday.
Please do not forget the best thing you can do for me is to share my story, socials and website.
