How do you manage your training around work?
I’m off to London today, on the 5:15 train and won’t be home til about 10:30pm. I know this will throw my training this week. How do you manage your training around work?

I find this really difficult as my working week varies from week to week. It means I can’t always train on set days/times which doesn’t help with consistency. I have to sit down each week and plan when I’m going to fit things in and even then it doesn’t always work out 🤣.
Who has a run planned this weekend?
Mine’s planned for Sunday. Saturday is always a day for shopping and getting straight at home - and getting a dinner ready to come back to after being out running. Which day are you out?

I will be running on Sunday. Thankfully I have a drop back in my training plan so not such a long long run 🤣. It’s been so wet, I’m so fed up of wading through water, roll on spring!
This weeks focus - taking action
Last week I shared a lot of information - which was important. This week is all about making changes, to get you on the path to becoming a stronger, faster, leaner runner - and achieving your personal goals. So I want you to do two things and share them in the comments: 1 - identify 2-3 changes you need to make to your training and nutrition 2 - Get clear about how you will make that happen. The second part is the hardest, because it involves changing our routines. But unless we work this out, we’ll stay stuck. This is 100% worth taking 30 mins out of your day for. When you’ve done it share it here and I’ll keep you accountable by checking in with you on Friday to see how you’ve got one.

I’m going to increase my protein intake and prepare my lunches for work in advance. I’m also going to swap out a run for cross training to allow a bit more recovery.
Aches & Pains - how do you handle them?
One of the most common symptoms ladies on the group have mentioned is increased aches and pains. How does this affect your training? Is there anything you have tried that helps you manage them?

I started to suffer with chronic pain 12 months ago. Lots of physio, X-rays, MRI, but no one could really find anything wrong. I went from running ultra marathons to finding it hard to stand up.and taking heavy duty painkillers. I stopped running for 3months, which didn’t help. It was miserable and it also started an anxiety cycle as I couldn’t find what was wrong. I am considerably better now and back training for a 50 k but the pains are still there. I use tens machine, heat, mobility work, foam rolling and CBT techniques for management and I’m still having physio.
Where to find recorded live sessions
All live sessions on the calendar are recorded and posted on the Calendar page so you can watch everything there if you can’t make the live sessions.
