From 10km to 32km Trail run!

Meet Nicola, she has a love of trail runs, strength training and running in general. We have been working together for a few years and this year she wanted to enter into the Race Tekapo 32km Trail run.

‍

We started her off around the 22kms a week as she already had a good running base and worked it up to 36km per week. This allowed us to gradually increase the training load whilst decreasing risk of overload onto the previous Achilles tear and the current knee niggle that pops up.

‍

Nicola had 2 days of strength and 3 day's of running with a mobility day. I am so impressed by the dedication that she put to her training and the biggest thing was she asked questions along the way to understand what we were doing which i encourage all clients to do to get the most out of their training!

Nicola completed her trail run in 4 hours and 48minutes which is incredible for her first time! She mentioned that after the first 10km she felt a pain in her knee which gave her a negative mindset. She ended up talking her self out of this to continue on. Which is the most incredibly hard thing to do. So i am so bloody proud of her for that!!

I am super grateful for the trust she had in me and proud of what she has acheived!
