So the new year has come around,
maybe a bit quicker than I would like,
as it means I’m closer to all those
races I blithely entered some time last
year in a haze of “I’ve got ages to
train for it...” Yes, just because I spend
my working life getting all the best
advice possible, it doesn’t mean I
always follow it. But now’s as good
a time as any for a new year’s resolution, so I’m back on
the bandwagon and getting out there, rain or shine.
Sadly it’s more rain than shine at this time of year, so I was
pleased to get a good idea of what’s the
best kit for British
weather
on p44, while coveting a pair of waterproof socks
following Sarah’s review on p43. It’s not just running outside that
we need to consider when leading up to a race, though; we
need to be warming up properly, keeping clear of injury and
cross training. And once that’s all under our belts the most
unnatural thing in the world: tapering.
It’s the one(!)
thing I’ve never been very good at – it feels like I’m undoing all
the hard work! Thankfully the expert advice on p46 has helped
me get my head round it. All that’s left is for me to wish all our
readers a
happy new year
and happy training!
