the atmosphere is buzzing around the track especially with the great weather lately, definitely given me a boost in training.
My season has gotten under way finally. I ran my first 800m in Hengelo and whilst racing a few girls with a race or two in hand I was still my competitive self and was rewarded with a pleasing 2.00.58mins opener! Definitely bodes well for the season ahead!
My excitement for the season began a couple weeks back however at the very first McCain roadshow in Nottingham. We had an awesome day of athletics. After my usual Sunday morning long run I headed off to join the action in Nottingham’s Market Square. The turn out was fantastic and the rain posed no deterrent for the budding young athletes and their equally competitive parents! Everyone was so keen to learn about the core skills behind track and field: power, strength, speed, endurance, nutrition… even I learned lots on the day! I was soooooo impressed with the giant pod, I’m wondering if I could get one in my garden? Probably not so I’ll just look forward to the pod visiting London in July!
So this is my first blog and I’m going to try my best to be as informative and give as much advice as I can so if anyone has any specific questions related to running please ask away and I will do my best to answer as many as I can each month!
Maz’s Top Tip for June: As the weather is hotting up it makes me think hydration! Make sure you’re drinking at least 500ml of a sports electrolyte based drink at least two hours prior to exercise.
Thanks for reading!
