LSD. Long Slow Distance.

Today was LSD day. Long slow distance.

My LSDs will be around 60-75 minutes for a while now. Maybe I won't have the opportunity to run much outdoors in the next few months, who knows?

If I run outdoors then it's 60-75 minutes LSD and if it's treadmills then different kinds of speed intervals for min. 30 minutes.

Depending on where I am.

Today's run was fun fun fun! 

A short stop by the cathedral to take a selfie by the Xmas tree :)

Perfect weather conditions, around -1C and hardly any wind.

Proper clothing. I loved it!!!

Monday: gym workout with my PT

Tuesday: LSD or treadmill

Gym workouts

Now I have a plan for my gym workouts, went through a routine today with my PT and until mid-Jan I'm doing my best to stick to it 1-2 times/week. + running 1-2 times/week.
I also have the workout program in print, one in my gym bag, one in my work bag.
I can do most of the program at the work gym as well.

Burpees, super burpees, planks, squats.. etc You name it, I'm doing it! :)
Lifting heavy things off the floor. Putting them back down. Lifting them up. Putting them back down etc etc.

Todays's training session was fun and motivating.
I'm not a lost cause.
I'm going to run 2015 NYC Marathon in 5,5 hours!

This weekend's plan is to get at least one one hour run/jog done. Lots of uphills along the way!!!

Let's go!

Reality

Now it's real. Reality. I'm in training for the 2015 NYC Marathon! 

I have a PT who's made a plan. I'm keeping a meal diary, I do eat more sensibly now and I work out seriously.

Focus is on running, of course.

I hate treadmill workouts but I can tolerate interval workouts.

They're actually quite a lot of fun!

This will be a fun winter season focusing on different kinds of interval training on the treadmill.

5,5 hours in NYC is what I'm aiming at.

Walking and jogging

On Saturday I took a 2 km walk and 3 km jog outdoors.

Wonderful cold, fresh, crisp weather.

Felt great!

2015 NYC Marathon, here I come!

I've sold my soul to the devil..

I've sold my soul to the devil...
I've signed up for 30 PT appointments at the gym.
2015 NYC Marathon, here I come!

I've had some lab tests done, will get the results on Tuesday.
There shouldn't be anything alarming, just a little something I've been thinking of.

Here we go!!
