Hi there,
My wife and I discussed Talin, but given how much travelling we are doing this year I think it's a little too far! Maybe next year as it does look great and I would love to visit the city.
Things are continuing in the right direction. 1k's were very tough 2 weeks back but I did them on a hilly off-road trail so varied 3:20-3:40. I then did the paced 5k in 17:15 on road.
400s felt great last week (started at 80s and gradually dropped to 70s without too much trouble) and I did Bushy Park run as race day on Saturday and was pleased with a 16:43 in the heat:
3:18
3:14
3:26
3:16
3:27
I then ran straight home (11k) at a very steady 3:50/km feeling very good indeed.
The race dates meant a free week this week so haven't done too much structure. Just keeping sharp and continuing to bring the weight down. I had a bit of a stiff bigtoe - hallux limitus - which I am working on with my physio, better over the past few days.
Looking forward to kicking off a new cycle next week and will keep you posted on the 2k's.
Jamie
