What a great day for progress!! I was so sick with covid from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day. It went away, then apparently the gunk left behind turned into a raging sinus infection. I've just signed up for my first 24 hour race in May, and I'm starting from a very low training level, (5-6 miles a week) so the clock is ticking! But I'm a huge believer in ZERO guilt for missing training for sickness or life. I hope skiing was a blast! Good luck in the rest of your block, I can't wait for your race!

Hi @Kelly_Ben. Take care and healthy. Have a great day.

Loading is something to keep in mind, what I mean by that is you are effectively increasing training volume substantially. The heavier you can lift, the greater the biological stressors become which in turn demands greater recovery for optimal cardiovascular performance. I used to be a national rower, and the most important thing to remember is that a heavy lift day is equivalent to race day effort to your muscles and so it usually becomes more beneficial to train weights at 60-75% capacity to ensure biological adaptation while ensuring the fatigue does not overshadow your training. You’re going to do great, I always love to see younger athletes literally chasing their dreams. Godspeed.

Good luck with everything this year Flora. Always enjoy watching your videos 😊

[@wilmertsch]

I'm glad your feeling better Flora! Your "old" body!? Talk to me about older body. I"m 75 yrs young, ran many 5k's, 10k's and currently training for my second half marathon. Keep your vlogs coming, I enjoy your enthusiasm, smile and your puppy!

[@Kelly_Ben]

Go get it, Wilmer!! 💪

Love this channel Flora! This was one of the first channels I subscribed to having taken up running 3 years ago at the age of 51. Love seeing the sights on Bristol (not grungy, just cool) and wishing you all the best either way growing the channel. I have my first Ultra in July and have loved your content. Life is lovelier with running. Off to the NEC Running Show this weekend.. #addictedtorunning ❤️

[@amelia.jane1235]

Happy New Year, Flora! Thanks for sharing your gym session. I still feel so intimidated at the gym (even though it’s in my head)💗

[@Gracie-hw3dh]

Thank you so much for the gym session advice. Extremely helpful 👍🏾

[@knotanitter]

Yes 🙌🏻 Tea and trails podcast is so good for running, all the emotions!

[@IndianaHannah]

Thanks Flora, nice motivating video to keep me motivated and training after 2 years of EBV set backs, im currently in week 3 of my running block and i was debating adding in strength training...looks like im adding it in 😂😂. Keep up the good work!!

[@floracook4803]

Good to see you Flora! Best of training for you half. I'm currently training for a half myself for February half. Loved you run route 💞

[@andyisaacs4554]

And a happy new year to you Flora , good luck with the rest of the training....Great video

[@melziep8680]

Thanks Flora, I’m enjoying the Runna app (3 weeks in). Love your videos 😊

[@matp8493]

Summer can't come soon enough! Thanks Flora

[@roisinmcbride_]

I can’t wait for summer! Glad you’re feeling better!!

[@Rustyfox46]

Hi Flora, Tea and Trails is the best podcast ever!!!! Good luck with your plans for 2025 👊🏻

[@garethneller8239]

Happy new year to you too! (It's still January so it still counts) Here's to a year of adventures😊

[@rachpwanders6095]

Glad you're feeling better Flora! My gym doesn't allow shoes off lifting, so I just chuck a pair of barefoot shoes in my running vest to change into. You're right though, run to the gym and you're warmed up enough to get straight to the good stuff!

[@isax55]

Nice video, actually today I have my gym training session, I'll have to incorporate some of your recommended exercises

[@georgesa.videau8332]

Happy New healthy fit year!

[@Manuel_1808]

[@josejimenaz]

Anything to grow the channel 🎉

[@Uptowngirl7339]

Hey, I’m on a plan with Runna and using the premium version but I don’t have any strength workouts on my plan. Do you know how you get them?

[@FloraBeverley]

@@Uptowngirl7339 heya! Go to the plan tab, and then manage plan. You should be able to see it in there to set it up ☺️

[@miimki2711]

i love you flora

[@johngault8688]

I have to respectfully disagree with those that have told you that Trap-Bar Deadlifts are a good alternative to traditional Straight-Bar Deadlifts. It's true that it reduces the pressure on various areas of the posterior chain; however, that's because it's not really working the posterior chain like a traditional deadlift. Using a Trap-Bar really isn't any different that a traditional squat. I definitely feel the difference in my posterior chain when doing traditional deadlifts compared to Trap-Bar exercises and that's because the traditional deadlift puts the weight forward of your center of gravity, forcing more recruitment of muscles in the posterior chain. Being concerned with injury during traditional deadlifts is a very valid concern, but simply drop the weight. I can easily do much more weight using a Trap-Bar than a traditional deadlift, but that does not mean I exercising my posterior chain any better with the Trap-Bar.

[@FloraBeverley]

@@johngault8688 interesting! For me that’s not so much the case - squatting doesn’t get nearly as much pressure on my hamstrings as trap bar deadlifts do. But either way, if you’re conventional DLing heavy, there’s little chance you’ll be running safely/comfortably for the next day or 2, which in most runners’ case is not really an option.

[@user-te6ms9wf5k]

Be careful on the slippery gym floor in socks - have seen some terrible accidents while people were strength training ❤

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Always good to see you Flora. New Year "lurgy" ? FluNovoCovMonkeypox virus hit me for 2 weeks 1st week of Jan, as it no doubt laid up many ! :) Still, people in LA with much bigger problems :( Have a Fantastic Barca Half ☀️ 🇪🇸 🍌🐿

[@Kelly_Ben]

😂 Hey, I'm pretty sure that's what I had, Christmas Eve to New Years Day. Still fighting the leftover sinus infection. Trashed the holidays, but you're right, it could ALWAYS be worse.
