Summer in october

The warmer weather may be the perfect excuse to get back to normal with your outdoor training, and with the average temperature this weekend likely to be 20 degrees, there has never been a better time to get out on the bike and go for a run and go for a walk, not necessarily all three of course but hopefully you will know what I mean!

This is your chance to set a marker in the sand and really go for it again, and tell yourself that this is the time to do it once and for all.

Its also a good time to remind yourself that next spring and next summer will be here soon enough too. Its not going to be good enough then to hang out in baggy jumpers and coats to hide how much weight you may or not put on. You will want to show your improvements off.

The hard work is always done over the winter months and it starts right now if you really want to make a spectacular difference to yourself. The most important workouts are always those you don’t really want to do and the news is that the dark mornings are already here, and cold evenings are waiting around the corner after this hot spell. It is a false dawn before the winter so lets make the most of it and think of the rewards that will be yours next spring.

There will be no baggy jumpers or baggy bottoms next year, you will be able to show off your transformation if you really apply yourself right now, spring will be full of compliments if you just show up for your own workouts and shop well for good food!

My guess is that you will be able to see lots of people on bikes etc this weekend in the warm so lets make the start right now. The same people are not likely to be out in the dead of winter and that’s the challenge, to keep your training up during the harder, darker months, when the real progress is made so lets give it your best, starting this weekend!!!
