Training
Training for me is all about 2 main goals - being consistent and enjoying what I'm doing. I train with the North London team - Tri London, so much of my training fits in with the club's arranged sessions. I like to throw in a few of my own extras where possible but it's all about maximising the time for each discipline. I try to avoid ignoring my weaknesses and training with a group is always more motivational and fun.

Whereas all these sessions I aim to make, I know that if I go in for all I will burn out. Being a good athlete is more than just pushing hard all the time its about listening to your body and knowing when too rest also. That is why I will throw in to that schedule a few runs to and from work as a less focused session. A gentle 8km commute is a good way to add a few extra miles and to stretch out the legs.
