For the sake of 10 min in the morning after I wake up I find it encourages me to be better about my general routine as I make sure to get pint of water, get a few things done in the house, emails etc rather than just waking up and letting the morning get away from me before work and as a result losing further time later in the day playing catch up. Might sound silly but it has definitely helped overall in terms of energy levels. I did this shortly after Ethan was born and it is a shame that I let myself fall out of the habit as I think realistically it is worth an extra hour or two in terms of productivity in a day. In terms of the metrics I took the idea from shotgunmcos log. I was starting to slip the week before with some of that stuff so offers a good reminder that this stuff while might seem optional is just as important to my training at the moment so offered a reminder of where I am slipping up. I also think that it helps to quantify this to an extent as a distance runner (we tend to fixate on numbers) so can go hand in hand with the running figures at the end of the week.

I am hoping this will help me achieve the consistency I want.

I was struggling with motivation last year and found it really useful just to be able to turn up to a club session once a week (just made that my quality session and didn't worry too much about what else I did that week). It took all the stress out of planning training and added a really positive mental element: the social bit of training in a group. The bit of competition during training was enjoyable too. And there's some great runners to work off in that group you were training with. What's the target race?! I'll see you at a couple of xc races this winter (if they happen!)...
