First week back at school after the half-term break, the school has a Fitness Suite, which means back to the Tuesday and Thursday gym workouts.

It was a beast of a session at the end of the day today!

It went something like this:

• 6 x Burpees
• 10 x Shoulder Press
• 10 x Goblet Squat
• 6 x Burpees
• 10 x Bench Press
• 20 x Step-ups
• 6 x Burpees
• 12 x Bent-Over Row
• 10 x Sit-Ups
• 6 x Burpees
• Farmer’s Walk
• Bear Crawl

With a two minute rest at the end and then repeated another three times.

There was sweat. Lots of it.

Juneathon Totals:

Running = 27.5 miles

Gym Sessions = 1

It was an early run today; I was out the door before 6am.

Now, I love running in the morning – it’s probably my preferred time to get out – but before 6am is not particularly enjoyable. It was a struggle right from the start. It wasn’t until the second mile that I felt a bit more comfortable.

Also bagged another Strava badge…

This time I get 30% off some ridiculously overpriced running gear!

Week 1 done: 7 runs – 27.5 miles.

Cushty.

Nearly a week done and it’s been ok.

6 days.

6 runs.

Helped of course by the fact that I’ve been on half-term. It might not be so easy to fit the runs in next week.

It was a beautiful morning; I was out the door before 8am. Ended up doing 10km. Strava badge earned.

Plus a surprise ‘Chase the Sun – Buff Challenge’ badge – I went click crazy on Strava challenges – don’t ask.

Anyway, it turns out I get 30% off Buff products. I only thought Buff did those headband thingies that you get free at races. It turns out they do lots of other stuff too. Although…

Well, after complaining about yesterday’s rain, we were greeted with a fabulous sunny warm day today.

It was a lovely late afternoon run. I’m keeping up my minimum 5km run each day.

Saw a couple of lovely looking trees.

And on return…I had a vegan pasty. Nice.

Juneathon Totals:

Running = 18.0 miles

It was one of those ‘should have gone for a morning run’ run. By the afternoon it was raining and looked to be set in for the rest of the day.

So it was a run in the rain. That’s dedication to Juneathon.

It started of reasonably light, but by the end it was pretty heavy. I was tempted to empty out this fella’s ‘planter’ and use it for the last half mile.

Juneathon Totals:

Running = 14.8 miles

It was an early morning run. Wanted to avoid a late run in the sun – it was forecasted to be another warm day.

When running every day you do need to be quite disciplined. Best to have a plan.

So a 3 mile run was done before 8am. It was warm enough at that time in the morning. So a good decision was made.

Cushty.

Juneathon Totals:

Running: 11.7 miles.

In other news…this is very exciting…
