End goals

Run 12KM
Swim 1KM

Reflection

Good week, pushing the wall an inch further in both activities. I pushed it harder in the running this week. Music choice for running definately can make a difference when trying to push the limit. I found a couple Slipknot and Five Finger Death punch songs that matched the rhyyhm of my running and that gave me a second breath. Here is the recap:

Running

3.5KM Treadmill ( run / walk x 3 )
3.6KM Treadmill ( run / walk x1 )

Swimming

500M (50M intervals)
500M (50M intervals)

Learnings

Definately plan a good tempo playlist for workouts where possible. I am open to all types of music but generally don't fancy the song choices played in most gyms so I opt in for my own choices here.

In regards to swimming, I am slowing down and relaxing more in the strokes. My goal is distance and endurance here, not speed. So I find that toning down my pace slighly is saving alot of energy.

Goals for the week

Running

Reduce the walking. So aim for a solid run without stopping to walk.

Swimming

Similar to running, reduce the intervals. Aim for 100M intervals between rests.

In conclusion

Inception post was created for a number of reasons: I wanted to create accountability for a goal I was trying to achieve. I wanted to journal my journey from inception to realization and I want to inspire others to start their own pursuit of a goal.

I hope to inspire a community here that supports and holds each other accountable for goals they set. A place where there is no judgement, just inspiration for something you've not done before and to have people who will walk with you until you achieve your goal.

Create your #inception post today and let's help each other achieve something that we've not yet done.
