Today I am stepping away from my comfort zone!
A PARK RUN!
No one dislikes running more than me. I feel that running should be only used, when being chased by a bear.
Unlikely in Hertfordshire so I rest my case.
I have no idea why I dislike running so much, I really love working out. (as long as its not running)
I have decided that a park run would be out of my circle of comfort, so I have enlisted the entire family.
Yes I am kind like that.
I thought it would be a good dog walk and a family activity.
(I lie, I just didn’t want to do it alone)
Its a big organised event thats happening this morning.
Ok I am registered and have my number and have had my light breakfast of egg and spinach.
I have my post snack ready which is chocolate milk for replenishment.
Why?
The explosion of research in sports science over the past decade has allowed elite athletes to approach every aspect of racing in minute detail in a bid to gain even the smallest of edges.
And as unlikely as it sounds, there is a growing belief that a humble bottle of chocolate milk may be the best recovery drink out there:
“We now know that chocolate milk has the ideal carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, which your muscles require to replenish glycogen levels,”
says Kelly Pritchett of the department of foods and nutrition at the University of Georgia.
Mo Farrah has a penchant for chocolate milk after races and intense training sessions.
So it’s a MO FARRAH go to, and if it works for him then……
Ok so there you have it.
What would you have to do to step out of your comfort zone?
Try something new this weekend and see how it makes you feel when you have achieved it. The comfort zone just gets bigger. Less things on the outside.
Have a great weekend
