10k run and diet changes see landlady shed pounds
"We concentrated on running and building my leg muscles," said Fay. "Leonie and I did a 10k run a few weeks before the race just so I knew I could do it. On the flat it took me an hour and 31 minutes. On the day, with all the hills, it was an hour and 26 minutes. " I set a target of an hour and 45 minutes to include the hills so I did better than expected. It was a big relief and an achievement." Fay has signed up for another challenge — the Great West Run half marathon in May next year. She is now training with Leonie once a week, concentrating on her core fitness using a medicine ball, step and weights as well as some sprinting. She runs with friends once a week and uses a resistance band, which is similar to using weights, at home. Fay is also sticking to the healthy eating regime suggested by Leonie.
