No more running solo!

Hurray i am running with others!! It is so good to run in a group, you go faster, don't feel as tired and the time passes all too quickly while running. We had our first run Monday morning at 7am, the sun has only just come up which makes it lovely :) Our first run was a simple one along Mounts Bay road, i went to Narrows bridge which is about 6km there and back and had a fast finish which felt invigorating to catch some guys in front of me.

Tuesday I took myself to the gym and did a 35 minute bike session with 20 minutes of 30 second sprints on a higher level each minute. Followed by a few arm weights and ab work.
Wednesday was another early morning run with the group and we went up Kings park to the DNA tower. Again it was beautiful looking over the city with the early sun :) Myself and another guy ran up the tower 5 times before we all ran back for another 5/6km run. They are not as long as i do by myself but still good to get my fitness up :)

Today i went to the gym bikes and did a 50 minute session, 30km with 35 minutes of 30 second sprints on a harder level with a minute slower/recovery followed by some ab work. I like the bikes as an alternative to running, i will not get an overuse injury this time!

I'm looking forward to having more runs with the Trinity group, especially afternoon ones to get some more people involved and hopefully what looks to be a city to surf group also! 2 and a half weeks to go!
