Our Monthly update from Mum with 3

Don’t talk, just Do…

So training was supposed to begin last month and um, ah, it’s still stuck at the ‘beginning’ . Admittedly there was Christmas and New Year but that is now just a distant non-excuse for not having progressed with any significant triathlon training yet. Unfortunately the ugly head of procrastination has been showing off for the last few weeks and I’m simply not much further on than I was when I started.

I’m a great one for talking about my training, sitting in group chats, writing plans, jotting down lists and sub-lists, colour coding my calendar and designing extensive schedules. But these are only useful if they lead to action and none of these delaying tactics will get me round a 140mile swim, bike, run combination unless I knuckle down and do some actual physical training.

So what’s the best way to start? Firstly I have to commit to when I train and for me most of my training sessions must be done in the early hours of the morning. This is so it’s completed before the day is occupied with children, work, activities, housework, and subsequent fatigue. They say that exercising early in the morning offers both physical and mental gratification, it boosts your energy throughout the day and generally puts you in a better mood – so aside from the cold and dark and the overwhelming tiredness you feel when the alarm goes off, what’s not to like?

Hopefully by next month I’ll be fully immersed in my training and not just ticking off boxes on a wall planner, so I’m setting that early alarm clock and I’ll let you know how I get on… Mumwith3 does Ironman
