I recently documented a day in my life for the tryingtobalancethemadness.com blog. Here's how a typical day goes for me....
Typically a bright and early start at 5.30am , I check my emails and Twitter, pop my gym kit on grab some porridge and I am on my way to the gym for a 6.30am start
The type and length of training I do in the mornings depends on what I am currently training for. The Triathlon season has finished right now for me, so I am working on short intensive intervals and weight training usually 45mins – 60min
In the office for 7.50am I start the day with Katy my PA, who gives me an overview of what’s coming up for the day ahead. I take time too read through any publications that have landed on my desk the day before.
