October Goals: Time for Something Different

We’re already well into October, but I thought I’d outline my goals for this month, which I’ve made a pretty good start on!

After training for Ealing Half Marathon I felt it was time to mix things up a little and let running take a back-seat for a while, so here’s what’s on the agenda…

Recover from Ealing Half Marathon
I wanted to make sure after running Ealing Half Marathon my hip felt OK, and that I recovered reasonably quickly. As I mentioned in last weeks post, a short break at the seaside and some sensible recovery methods seem to have left my legs feeling pretty good!

Go to Spinning 2/3 times per week
I was lucky enough to be offered a 6 week Edge Cycle membership after my review of the studio and I’m so excited to make the most of this! I love their high intensity Bootcamp classes and have already been to 2 sessions last week.

Go to Yoga once a week 
Although I do the odd Yoga video at home (My Yoga Pro is great!), I want to attend a regular longer class so I really see some improvement in my practise, and also to make sure I actually do it! There’s a convenient studio next to Wimbledon station (Jiva Health) which I’m going to try out- they offer a beginner’s Vinyasa Flow on a Monday, a Yin and Yang Yoga session on a Thursday evening and a full Yin Yoga session on a Sunday afternoon – so I’m hoping to make it to at least one of these every week depending on what else I’m doing!

Be a Parkrun tourist
I’m not going to completely stop running, and if I feel like lacing up my running shoes I’m definitely not going to ignore that urge! However, I’m intending to take a break from long distances for a while and as part of this I want to try out a few different local parkruns. I’ve already made it to Roundshaw Downs for the 10th parkrun Anniversary, and am keen to tick a few more off the list this month.

Let me know what your Autumn goals are in the comments below! And get in touch if  you fancy a parkrun/yoga/spinning date anytime 🙂
