Woohoo! I did it.
As workouts go it was pretty tough, more HIIT than endurance, and I feel sore like I’ve been lifting weights. I loved it though 
. I think this will compliment my existing routine nicely; right now I aim to run 3 times a week and lift weights 2 times, adding in rugby is +2 training sessions and a game on most weekends (should I get selected!). I’ve got a feeling morning runs are going to be in my near future 
. That’s not necessarily going to be too hard to do either, my work contract is switching back to part-time soon (a good thing), which frees up my hours. For example, I could get up at a normal time on tues/thurs, do a quick 3-4 mile run, go to work, then rugby in the evening. I’m planning on seeing a couple of PTs this week to discuss some my strategy for the next 6 months, so I’ll see what they say.
Jeez, I am so sore right now. I was fine at work, but my run this evening seems to have triggered all my muscles to start screaming at me. Tomorrow is SO going to be a rest day!
