Getting my ducks in a row!

Days until event - 346

Miles run so far in training - 6.96

Rebounder in minutes so far - 22 mins

I love this statement as it pretty much sums me up!

Sticking to a plan is really not my strong point. I'm the kind of girl who is much happier out playing with the fairies at the end of the field, than sticking to something that I have planned out.

Hence the lack of running last week. I worked out; sessions with clients and yoga classes taught. Plenty of that went on. Just lack of sticking to the running plan I had loosely mapped out for myself.

So, renewed effort this week - as of today that is. Yesterday was back to back clients, and Monday was our 35th anniversary so plenty of eating and drinking went on that day.

I have back to back clients in today as well and a yoga class to teach this evening, but I jumped on the rebounder for 20 mins this morning.

I started rebounding as rehab for my broken knee - great exercise without the impact so was perfect.

I've since been reading up on the NASA based research on rebounding and surprisingly its great for improving VO2 max (aerobic ability), stamina, muscle strength, bone density, lymphatic system, and also helps with balance (obvious that last one).

10 minutes of rebounding is significantly more (68%) effective than 30 minutes of jogging. Have to say my mind is a bit blown, and I'm tempted to do all my training on the rebounder from here on out.

Of course I won't, but its good to know that I'm not wasting time by bouncing up and down.

On days like today when I'm busy with work, or if its raining outside (very not keen on running in the rain), I have a worthy alternative.

Happy Wednesday peeps.
