Been a week or two since i last posted, nothing massive has happened that warranted anything really. One of the things to consider when embarking on a BB testing cycle is that you can get into a rut if you aren't careful and to be honest I would say that happened to me over the last couple of months.
It usually comes down to something setting you back a bit and then a spiral starts that keeps you from fulfilling what you want to achieve. Luckily for me the energy levels at the school and the buzz from the other students has really helped me to break the cycle and start making some positive strides.
My running is making small progress, but hey as I usually hate running small steps (pun intended) is a good thing. I have started incorporating a longer run at the weekends just to start seeing how it feels, longest so far is 8.5 miles, I'm not running the full distance but still achieving a reasonable time. I'm still hoping that by the time of the Bristol Half Marathon (30th Sept) I will have done 13 miles, today was a good example of my approach to this goal. I ended up doing a slightly shorter route (only 7.5 miles) but the route I chose was extremely hilly so I was looking to work on stamina, very hot today so felt like a desiccated coconut!
I've been focussing on the theory and basic aspects of my training as their has suffered the most from neglect, good to see things starting to click back in place, this is really helping to free up time at home to do some more activities around pattern breakdown and planning my personal demo.
Next week is a tricky one as I am away for a few nights with work and this could upset attendance again. I may look to sneak in a day off or two where perhaps I can persuade my instructor and a fellow student to do some extra training with.
