May Training Review

I've Lost Track of Time And Missed A Month Or Two

I don't want to be one of those people who are always saying they are too busy but the past month has been a little crazy. Home life takes precedence, then training, then work, then being able to write and work on side projects. Work has taken me away from everything and am struggling to even read a lot of posts on Steemit. Fortunately curation channels like the @runningproject and @exhaust help me find a lot of the posts I am more interested in. IN all the crazy, its been good to get out and train as it gets me back to my routine and keeps me sane.

What Has My Training Been Focused On

I'm going to list them off pretty rapidly, so if you have any questions, shout them out:

• I've been taking part in a scientific study through the University of Auckland testing the effects of a health supplement on endurance, specifically trained cyclists.
• My reading has been focused on Brain Training and muscle potentiation to improve athletic performance...There is still a lot more for me to learn, so I won't say much more, but watch this space as I should have some more information coming.
• I've been working hard on my VO2Max deep dive which trying to improve my 10km and 5km race times.
• The Gold Coast Marathon is approaching very quickly, so I've been working hard both on my training and working up a good "marathon mustache" for race day.
• Finally, I have recently started working on a Strava app to help people connect their activities with Steemit when using Strava.

How The Month Went

Another great month of training and even though the weather has been getting a little cooler, the rain has held off and it has been a great month for running and riding. Hoping that I can continue to push hard over the winter as they say, summer gains are made during winter.

The Gold Coast Marathon is fast approaching and I know I will be ready for the race, I think I will not be at my best. My mind has not been in it 100% but I know I won't let that stop me trying to push for a personal best.
