Contour Movement

The 12WP might be over, but the work isn’t.

The goal now is to maintain the physique I’ve built, fuel my running, recover properly. All whilst enjoying a little more flexibility along the way.

For the next two weeks I’m holding calories and steps steady, gathering some data and seeing what happens.

Oh, and the extra calories on long run days are definitely being spent on scones!!

Now it’s time to focus on some performance goals, with the Glen Rosa Horseshoe and Meall a’ Bhuachaille hill race with , then Original Mountain Marathon Scotland with all firmly in my sights ⛰️

12 weeks of structure, discipline and routine…
Followed by one week of doing exactly what my body and brain needed.

A family escape to Isle of Skye
Big mountain days
Fresh air
Wild swims
Good scran
Slower mornings
And absolutely zero guilt about taking the foot off the gas for a wee bit.

After pushing hard through the 12WP, I knew I needed to take a moment to recalibrate and find the balance again.
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is recover properly.

This week reminded me that health isn’t just about aesthetics or chasing the next goal. It’s also about balance, memories, movement and giving your body space to breathe.

Now it’s time to ease back into routine over the weekend…
A few good sessions, some structure again and figuring out what maintenance calories actually look like for me after being in a deficit.

Ready for the next phase 😁
