Downshifting Abroad

Benefits of Life in New Zealand - 2 - Up the Mount

Joined the Mount Joggers (Tauranga, North Island) and am following a 10 week plan to run up the ‘Mount’, a hill over 200m high next to the harbour entrance. Great way to meet like-minded people and to get fit at the same time. Club offers creche facilities for Mums, so no excuse! Can only go on Fridays although the club meets twice a week (Tues/Fri) as work intefers! My week runs from Sunday to Thursday, which means I unfortunately miss a vast majority of the sports events held on Sundays. Am looking for a training program to continue with after I conquer the Mount…
