Exactly 7 months to go!!

I reckon I should be just about done this time in 7 months 🤗 

The Outlaw full IM is on the 30/7/23

I feel as if I'm slowly reaching the top of the start of a rollercoaster which is about to topple over the top and hurtle down and around!!

Which is fabulous and so exciting 

I can't wait to see how far I can push my mind and body to go sub 16 hours - which is my dream / my goal. I'd like to be done by 10pm xx

Training starts in earnest in February but I start going to the gym in January 

My goal is still to lose 10kg and to knock off at least 10% of my times for all three disciplines. Once I do that I reckon I'll just keep going.

Tomorrow is parkrun. 

I need to go nice and gently as it will my first 5k since before America. 

Christmas Eve 22

Just over 7 months to go 🤗 

Feeling slightly overwhelmed but also know I just have to start and then religiously follow my training plan and I'll be fine

Getting ready to go long

Currently my focus need to be the bike 

No hard running so minimise risk of injury

Get an extra hour of sleep a night 

 

LizzieGoesLong update

Today I did an hour on the stationary bike 🤗

Slowly but surely getting psychologically prepared to put in the hours of training needed to go sub 16 hours at the Outlaw next July 

I will though need to stop eating chocolate, biscuits and cakes. 

That will be harder than doing a full IM in less than 16 hours 😂🤔

Day one of the flamingo challenge ✅

Standing on one leg with your eyes closed

Operation strengthen right ankle has begun xx

Ankle is okay

Went to Atherly Physio this evening - got utterly soaked there and back

Liz poked, prodded, pushed, pulled and rotated my ankle. She's happy. My ankle has a full range of movement and has healed well

I have single leg balancing with eyes closed

Heal raises

Running on the spot 

Then couch to 5k 

Then gently ramp up training to Outlaw in July 2023

#LizzieGoesLong is looking good 🤗🥳

3 hours in the saddle

55km bike ride - out for 3 hours, great fun

My average km/h needs to get to at least 25km/h but the key at the moment is time in the saddle. 

Very happy with 3 hours today

Was quite tired though.

Just need to keep consistent and make sure I get out on the bike every week
