Another 4.2 miles tonight in 45 minutes, felt so easy, really want to up the pace and miles, but no I’ve got to be patient

For anyone struggling with sweet snacking....it's probably not a revelation or anything, but I've become quite fond of mixing greek yoghurt (either 0% or 5% if I want a bit of luxury haha) with protein powder and adding either some fruit OR my new favourite is crumbling a biscuit or two on top. I used protein powder from the protein works as it's by far the best I've tried and tends to be pretty good value for money)

Hits the spot and a decent portion is about 300 cals for 30g of protein or so.

Great way to up your protein and it’s so satiating.

eaten a pain au chocolat and cronut from Lidl this morning....so not going great today.

Also went out last night for a few beers and some brisket with all the sides and dessert

Was going to go swimming at lunch today but absolutely not feeling it, so going to give it a miss methinks.

6.5 miles today, 1.5 with my youngest boy(7), then 5 miles myself in 44 minutes, felt pretty good even after a few sherbets yesterday at the golf.

Done decent mileage during the last week, around 40 miles. Went out at lunchtime today for a 7 miler and snuck a 7:53 mile in there, downhill but that's quickkkkk for me.

Friday got my long run in, 12 miles averaging 8:47 minute miles. Not too sure where another 14.2 miles at that pace are coming from at the moment

Weigh in after week 5 of the program at the gym down to 94.6 kg. Down from 103 kg at the start. One week left would love to get to 10 kg down over the 6 weeks, but my coach won't reduce my total calories at all. So not to sure I can drop 1.5 kg this week as deload one for marathon training.

Didn't go swimming today as I'm running on 2 hours sleep after the Super Bowl. Did eat 3 lidl pastries though Back to it tomorrow.

First “Sprint Session” of 5K training plan, normal warm up and drills followed by 4 x 400m with 1 minute rest, all to be done 7:15-7:30 pace, did them, but I’ve decided I’m definitely not a sprinter!

By all accounts this session builds to 14 x 400m

4.2 miles in 41 minutes, really easy jog / run tonight.
