Hopefully by now you are starting to see an increase in fitness by following this Sutherland to Surf training plan.

Beginner:

Walk 1 minute followed by a 4 minute jog. Repeat x 4. Do this work out 3 times per week

Intermediate:

Interval session: 7x3 minutes hard pace with 90 seconds rest

Tempo run: 20 minutes at tempo pace

Long run: 65 mins at easy pace

Tip: If you find it hard to run for 4 minutes straight without stopping, just go for as long as you can and make that your benchmark for each rep.

Are you a new mum too? Ask your mothers group to join you and walk together for a purpose! www.lovemercyfoundation.org

As a child she would visualise winning gold – standing proudly on her makeshift phone book podium, singing the Australian national anthem at the top of her lungs. All she wanted to do was run. Julius Achon’s childhood was spent in the village of Awake in rural Northern Uganda, carrying water for miles for his family. At age 12, Julius was abducted by Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army and forced to be a child soldier.
