Am getting a bit slack at these blogs am going to try to put some time aside for them each week Marky B is tearing ahead with his!
Training-wise this week it has been pretty consistent and I'm definitely feeling the effects of the training in a good way, the hill up to my house has never been less daunting! I'm even still running at hockey after 10 minutes of the match (although hitting the ball is still proving to be a problem!) The mixed season has now started which has been a good laugh, although after starting with a good win up in Ramsey we were beaten yesterday by our 3rd team in a very bad tempered derby match in which our captain was sent off and one or two of us were lucky not to get our marching orders.....not good form!
We're also trying to incorporate longer walks into the training schedule, and as the nights start to get lighter we will try to walk on a Tuesday after work and then a long walk on Sunday. I'm also trying to include squash on a Wednesday night with the hockey lads into the schedule, which is meaning pretty much cardio every day, is gonna be a killer!
After walking up the sloc last week we then repeated the exercise today but when walking back through Ronague we went left instead of right and down the Ballabeg straight round to Gansey, which turned out to be a 14.4 mile walk, the longest we've done! I’m looking into ordering some half decent trainers to try to not put too much pressure on my joints on the road. It’s quite a difficult balance training for both because as Kili is going to be uphill in boots, the Parish walk will be all on road with trainers. Trying to make sure we do enough of both to make it is gonna be another challenge but I guess we've just got to try and do as much as possible of both!
Finally I've just got to say I almost didn't make it to the longest walk of the training so far because I was out dressed as a cow with an entire herd the night before, was a hilarious night! Nearly even did the sloc dressed as a cow but just wasn't in the mooooooood!
