Before you think anything funny, it was from hill repeaters last night! And maybe the weight squats in the morning, but mostly the hill repeaters. We did a hill that you wouldn't think would be that difficult to run, wrong! It was good though. I've no idea who many hills I did, just threw on my music and went (Hed Kandi I'd not listened to for a while, was probably dancing/running as opposed to just running!)
I also visualize (the wiki link can explain better than me but what follows is my explanation) while I do any form of exercise. If you don't do this, try! I do this with anything that I would normally do (running, weights, swimming, biking) but I visualize crossing the finish line strong, or my running form, or even getting out of the water easily after a hard swim. Its like a mental check of your body, brain, how you're feeling. Do you have a favorite athlete you like? Visualize their form, the way they move, their carriage and how the hold themselves (I like to visualize I'm following the Brownlee Brothers when I'm running or Ryder Hesjedal while I'm biking; swimming, well, that's all me!) Its very helpful, especially when you need to do something fun like hill repeaters!
Four sleeps and counting for the UBC Tri-Du! Epp! Taper? I guess I should start thinking about that, just after another swim, another brick and one more gym session!
