CNS fatigue …after the Mildura 10km PB and my central nervous system was fatigued, I was cooked. Ofcourse working a lot in that time also. In my recovery post , no surprise I got sick 🤧

3 weeks of resting I slowly got my energy back to work and training, listening to my body and gradually building up some strength and conditioning. It’s the best feeling, feeling well after being unwell. But it’s also so important to listen to the body. No point pushing it to then go 5 steps backwards.

This was also the reason I didn’t compete in the today. I just couldn’t give it my best 💯

It was nice to be out in the sun today moving my legs 🏃

There is so many bugs going around. Look after yourself and your body ❤️

✅ follow a training plan, personalised to you
✅ good footwear, have these fitted for you
✅ strength training is a must
✅ adequate nutrition, get advice from a dietican
✅ recovery, sleep, massage

There was so much unknown about going into .
I have competed in MANY marathons, half marathons, 10km, CrossFit comps, netball over the years. But this was a little different. Like doing your first half marathon there is so much that is learned by just giving it a go!

Now for the next one… 🤔

Still buzzing from the weekend!
And I’m still sore 🤣 But I know I left it all on the competition floor. Will I compete again? YES! And I’ll be in the next age category 😵‍💫 Bring on the 40s and see what this body can do! 🏃‍♀️

Finish line feels at the Mildura 10km in the weekend. I am surprised and stoked with my PB of 46mins. Training, resting, recovery, nutrition…. It pays off. Thanks to my awesome coach for believing in me and always providing support even when I doubt myself a little 😜

Why do you run? 💫

Hyrox training in the bag … another week wraps up and I’m excited for next weekend when I take on the Mildura 10km.

Pretty lucky to have an awesome gym and community in my backyard 🏠

Online programs are not limited to Australia where I live.
I have a few clients in New Zealand 🏠 my home who I program for. With the use of online platforms and awesome apps we can communicate and progress just as effectively.

This year, I set a couple of different running goals compared to 2023 where I ran the all 42km!

I decided to work on my speed in 2024🏃‍♀️
I will be running the Mildura 10km early June, and joining some of my friends and clients who are racing also!

Then I take on which I am super pumped for!

I have always been outcome focused and goal driven when it comes to my athletic life 💪🏾 as I approach my 40s this year I’m excited to see what I can achieve 💫

15/05/2024

Better than I thought…. I went into this run thinking “I don’t know if I can do this, can I hit the speed targets?”.
I got out there and got it done ☀️ it turned out wayyyy better than I thought ✨

Have a coach who can see beyond what you can see yourself, who looks out for you and guides you on paces they know you can accomplish 🏃 even if you don’t believe yourself, trust them. Thanks 😊

QUOTE: from an amazing entrepreneur and athlete I had the pleasure to listen to this week
I immediately loved it! And thought this how I think as a physio just put into a different phrase, as well as a great analogy for life.

What is your goal?
What is the plan? (I will help you with that).
Then work this everyday.

I will guide you on all that we need to do to get you closer to your goal, function, race, health and well being 🏃
