|FIRST TRAINING RUN| went off to a great start. @alinausp and I are running @asics London 10km in just over a month. We kicked it off with a steady 5 km through Fitzrovia and Regents Park . |WHATS THE DEAL| As you’d expect anyone setting out to run such a long distance for the first time Alina has questions about the ideal training schedule over the next 5 weeks. The following steps can be applied to running 10 km and almost anything in life. This is how we are going to get Alina across the finish line . ✅Step 1: Ascertain the specific measurable goal. In this case the distance - 🏃‍♀️10km. We are not setting out to beat @gomofarah (yet) or even beat some personal best (which we already done upon finishing this casual run - 5km being the longest distance Alina ever run 💪) Completing a 10 km run is our goal . ✅Step 2: Set realistic steps required to complete the task based on the specific criteria - goal (10km distance), time frame (5 weeks), time availability (3-4 runs a week), past training experience (casual runner averaging 1-2 x 3/4km runs a week) . We have decided upon 3 training runs per week 1. Interval training based session for increasing lactic acid threshold. Estimated weekly time commitment 25 minutes . 2. Speed based session for increasing cruising speed for the race. Estimated weekly time commitment 30-40 minutes . 3. Distance based session for building muscular, cardiovascular and joint endurance. Estimated weekly time commitment - 35-60 minutes . With the overall weekly training commitment of just over two hours at its maximum it is both effective AND falls in line with the minimum effective dose necessary to complete the task . ✅Step 3: Pin point the motivation behind WHY put yourself through this experience in the first step. For Alina it’s easy. She is running to raise awareness of of the charity of which she is the founder. @artsocial_uk work for vulnerable children transforming their life through art. Follow @artsocial_uk journey and look out for us crossing the finish line in just over 5 weeks time . Move More. Live Better.

It’s the act of creating positive actionable steps in light of problematic situations: ✅(1) Recognising if something really is an issue ✅(2) Analysing how the issue can be resolved ✅(3) Creating stepping stones towards resolving that issue . This takes time but with practice conditions you to think about solution rather than the problem and with time creates what is otherwise known as POSITIVE ATTITUDE . |HEALTH & FITNESS| Applying this to health & fitness is very simple. Most popular fitness goals can be achieved with changing the existing environment for the better . |EXAMPLES| ✅ 1. FAT LOSS & GETTING IN SHAPE some actionable steps • Transform dietary intake from processed to whole and natural • Re establish a conventional eating pattern of 2-3 meals a day with absolutely no snacking • Eliminate/Reduce (temporarily or permanently) Intake of stimulant beverages high in sugar, caffeine and alcohol • Increase daily calorie expenditure via combination of strength training (Dynamic Reformer Pilates/Strength & Conditioning), cardio and general activity such as walking • Improve your sleeping hygiene by sleeping 7-8 hours a day in an undisturbed environment conducive for better sleep . ✅2. RESOLVING POSTURAL & BACK ISSUES some actionable steps • Improving your work environment - Changing sitting position. Adding the option of standing desk. Reducing hours spent at desk • Reducing mobile phone usage that puts overwhelmingly high demand on cervical spine, weakens neck and back extensors and tightens neck flexors and shoulders • Regular strengthening of neglected postural muscles such as butt and upper back via a series of strength & mobility exercises (Dynamic Reformer Pilates/Strength & Conditioning) .
