Woke up this morning after last nights promises of snow, severe weather warnings and 'significant snowfall'.
Looked out of the window and what did I see, nothing, well virtually nothing, looked more like a heavy frost than snow.
By the time I got to the gym at 7.00am there was already a car stuck on the slope up to the car park. For goodness sake, 1mm of white stuff and most people lose the ability to drive.
I generally cycle 10 miles before getting on the running machine, but last week I decided to reverse the order to avoid getting into too much of a training rut. It's amazing how your body can adapt to the same routine in the gym fairly quickly. If you have a programme written for you by the gym instructors then you should have it revamped every 8-12 weeks, otherwise you get stale and stop improving.
So if your programme is older than 12 weeks talk to your gym instructor about a new one, or if you set it yourself, then revamp it.
Today was a good day, I hit 3 miles on the treadmill, so well on the way to my target of 8 miles in July. I figure that I have to increase by 1 mile per month, better get my fat butt out running more often then.
Caution: As with all exercise, if you haven't exercised for some time, or if you have any medical conditions, you should see your physician first for a checkup. Tell them what you are planning to do so they can advise based on any medical history you might have.
