Strong, lean and keen.
Sidelined from the trails this weekend due to work commitments, I can’t help but poke around the house and marvel at just how fit I have been feeling of late. The last quarter of 2011 was pretty quiet on the running front with a need for recovery, rejuvenation and socialization, so I switched focus to high intensity full body conditioning and I haven’t looked back.
The team over at Versus Training Center continues to challenge me every time I step through the door and the results over 3 months have left me feeling like I could possibly be in the best shape I have been in for the last 3 years. A quick ‘tune up’ visit to Duane over at City Sports Physio confirmed it, I have a strong body and a healthy mind.
I am back to finding some consistency with my running and my workouts are getting stronger and stronger. I want to run and I want to run hard. I also want to race, and want to race often. For me right now, feeling fit is the great feeling of being strong, lean and keen and with MEC Raindance 10km next Sunday I’ll get to see who that translates to racing. Cant wait.
Great to hear that you are in good shape Pricey and I can honestly say that I feel the same. When I launched my training for Tarawera a while back, I was determined to have a more holistic approach to my build-up, and think I have done ok. I can pretty much say I am a non-drinker except for the odd tipple, diet is pretty good and overall fitness is alot better having joined crossfit which has been a revelation for me. I think this is the start to a new stage of my running & looking at stepping up later in the year and tackling my first 100 miler. Look forward to following your journey mate.
