Hurry Slowly...

As we come out of lockdown over the coming months and the weather improves, it will be all too easy to get excited, sign up to several races, increase our training load and push the envelope.

In principle, with a well balanced training plan you should be ok but even then, remember that the best judge of your recovery and progress is yourself. Those little niggles and tight spots that inevitably happen as we get back into full training can easily turn to injuries and an unwanted trip to the physio.

So my advice is to listen to your body, take your time and trust your instincts rather than waiting or being overly reliant on what your tech is telling you. These days you can always find the stats to back up whatever you want to prove, so learn to listen to what your body is telling you and act accordingly.

In other words, hurry slowly.
