The Nike+ trainers and band are working well, in fact the lunar glide runners are great, the best thing to say is I don't notice them - they are light, supportive, comfortable and have excellent feel under foot. For 80 quid I don't think you can find better, I have paid as much as 130 pound previously for runners and they haven't felt this good.
Loading the data up on the Nike+ website has become the first thing I do after my run - except stretches of course, whilst I have my recovery shake.
I have managed to knock over a minute of me 7km run, the competition (even though it is only against myself) is proving the main driver for me.
Do you set yourselves a Goal? what are they? do you achieve them? when will you achieve it? - always good to have something real to achieve to help keep you focused.
I have been training hard at home as well using my kettlebells and various push up combinations - it is harder to get to the gym with the kids of school - so I have been utilising more of what I preach to my clients, always useful to go back to the shop floor so to speak. The kettlebells are an excellent workout tool, utilising cardio and strength training and can give a really intense 20 minute workout. I do 15 two handed swings, 12 push ups, repeat 4 times - no rest. Then 1 min rest followed by 12 squat to shoulder press (using kettlebell) then 12 diamond / heart push ups 4 times no rest. 1 min rest then Single arm swing (switching at the top) for 16 reps then wide push ups (with legs raised) 4 times no rest, and then a nice long rest and recovery.
