Twenty three minutes past 6am is far too early to be out running on a Saturday morning when I should be in bed, but that’s what happened this morning as I had the first practical day on my personal trainer course.
When I first woke up, around 4am (yes, thanks again Mini for miaowing louder than a vouvouzela) I made a decision to revert back to an easy three miler today after a week of upping to five miles, but once on the street, and with my new pair of Brookes Adrenalines trainers to break in, I decided to push on and do another five.
A quick return home, shower and I was packed and off on my way on the bike to cycle over to Bankside gym in Southwark for the first day of the course. This particular module is one in gym instructing and it is quite basic – but crucial stuff. How to meet and greet people, keep them motivated, design a program for them.
There’s a real range of people on the course as well. I’m the oldest by about five years, then there’s one lady who is in her mid 30s and it plummets a little after that. Nonetheless, they seem a nice enough, and enthusiastic enough group. It will be interesting to see how things pan out over the next couple of weekends until the module is over.
