Hi Ed,
just wanted to round a few things up now I've come back down to earth. The race went well steady running up to 6k before going up a gear the course was progressively uphill for the first 6k or so then undulated with some quick downhill sections so made some time up. My finish time was 41.20 which was good enough to win the age group which I was pleased about. I would guess that I went thought 10k in mid 35.30 ish forgot to look at the time..so on to training and racing Saturday the 8th is a trail race so I would start out my recovery for the next few days easy runs and a long run mid week and try to follow suit as I did for the prep for the last race hopefully get the 3x5 mins in there this time. What I would ask is when do you think I should go back to base phase?? I would like to see next month out with say two more races then stop racing. I feel that I want to up the miles on base phase as shown this time my recovery's been poor so need to work on that. Anyhow that's all I've got at this point thanks again and regards jon.
