Vicky, Ealing sounds good - are there still places?

 

Yep - see you there!

I keep eggs in the fridge and microwave 1 egg with 2 egg whites. otherwise fruit.

Pretty sure the bridge is mainly for hamstrings.

The exercises I've been given to help activate my glutes are:

1) crab/glut walks (poss same as a clam exercise?) with a pilates band tied just above my kneees

2) small squats with pilates around my knees, to activate glutes you tuck your pelvis under for the squat and allow yourself to end forward more than you would with a weighted squat

3) lying on your side facing away from the wall, you roll an exercsie ball slightly up and down the wall with the back of your upper foot (pelvis tucked under and foot facing forward)

4) unweighted one leg dead lifts, focusing on keeping pelvis tucked, level and under control for full motion.

Have a half marathon PB of 1:53 so trying to break 1:50 for my next one which will be Ealing at the end of september so training program starts at the end of the month. Going to use the RW garmin-ready sub1:50 program. Until that starts I am just trying to build up my weekly millage again post 6weeks of recovery/debauchary after VLM.

Just got over a cold and the sunshine was too tempting. I just kept it to a pace that didn't feel like it was putting my lungs under my stress ... so pretty slow! Wheezed a lot after but feel better for it.
