César García Urbano Taylor: Breastfeeding and running

Image
If you are a woman and you want to know about marathon training and breastfeeding; César García Urbano Taylor cites Laura's experience: Breastfeeding and running I’m writing this one-handed on my phone while feeding my son after getting home from a 10k race. So excuse any typos. Below is my experience of running and breastfeeding. I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience.   When i was pregnant and we went through the prenatal classes and discussions, i was very much ‘i’m not sure if I’ll breastfeed’, which was somewhat of a taboo in our north London enclave.   I’d worked in breast health for eight years and edited a booklet on breast changes during and after pregnancy. I knew that sometimes, despite all the desire and effort put into establishing breastfeeding, it might not work out. So I went into it with a ‘we’ll see how it goes’ attitude. After my son was born, we stayed in hospital for a week. We began with mixed feeding which took some pressure off being enti...

César García Urbano Taylor: Marathon Training Update: Weeks 1-6

Image
César García Urbano Taylor shares laura`s experience in his marathon training update:  In the beginning It all began back in December after a period of being unwell on and off during the autumn. My milage wasn’t where I’d hoped it would be before starting official training, so it was a little bit disheartening to have to adjust week one of the plan I’d set out for myself. But adjust I did, because nothing good comes of being rigid. The Christmas period meant my partner was off work a bit, so I could get out and run more easily. And with a Christmas Day and New Year’s Day parkrun, there were good opportunities to get some faster miles in than the buggy allows. On Christmas Day we ran with the buggy, but then on the Saturday and New Year’s Day I was flying solo. And it certainly felt like I was flying. I ran 22:37 at Finsbury Park on the Saturday and then 22:22 at the flatter Highbury Fields on the Tuesday (NYD). These were a really big confidence boost. Miles away I we...

Setting SMART goals for runners It’s the time of year when runners set their goals for the 12 months ahead. What does running more look like ? In order to make it happen, you need to be more specific.   You’ve probably encountered ‘SMART goals’ if you’ve had an annual appraisal at work. They can feel a bit business jargon. But they make a lot of sense when it comes to running.   If you’re not familiar, SMART stands for: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time based So if we’re intending to ‘run more’,  we need to break it down. If you don’t have a clear idea of what ‘run more’ means, how will you know how to make it happen and, more importantly, how will you know when to celebrate actually achieving it?  For this, César García Urbano Taylor mentions some tips that will help us with our intentions and goals. ‘Run more’ Be specific – do you mean more miles in total than you ran in 2018? Or more frequently? Maybe both. We need to know what i...
