It was nice to feel that I actually deserved a break this year, after a relatively successful and consistent year, and having finished the season on a high note, I went into the break full of optimism for the year ahead. Of course, there was there temptation to skip the break and use the motivation to step things up, but I realise how long the year is, and that I would regret not taking a break. <br /><br />The first few days were difficult, and I missed the buzz of training, but luckly I then had a bit of work to do which involved me being on my feet all day. I soon didn't miss the training, and used the opportunity to do some work that I wouldn't be able to do while I was training. <br /><br />I found the transition back into training quite easy, and have upped my milage back up over that past 3 weeks. Yesterday I did my first session - some mile reps at medium intensity. As I said, the season is going to be a long one, so, for me, it's all about feeling good at this stage of the year.<br /><br />Remind yourself what your goals for the season ahead are, and when it is that you want to peak.Eliz2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00961094838907373453noreply@blogger.com
