fist run yesterday in a long long long time..... nice n slow but even then breathing was all over the place and turrets nearly kicked in, you'd think I was trying to run in 30' heat, rest up today and then try another run tomorrow

Good stuff. I was second in 56.04. Bang on my target GNR pace.

Was a canny run, good addition to the race calendar.

I came in 69.55 which was the pace I was aiming for as I did 9.5 miles before the race and just wanted to go around in 7min miles, I seen you when you were leading on the 2nd trip around souter and the kid who won was hanging in your slip stream, great race magic rat well done

Cheers mate, I know the lad who won well. He's excellent at pacing a race and has been my nemesis numerous times :) think he uses me as a pacemaker !

Say hello if you see us at another race. Always good to put a face to a username :)

Yes when I can mate but had a niggle last week so just went for steady run. Not doing owt for a few days this week so hoping will do me good when I go out Sunday. Hows your recovery doing?
 
just started up again last week mate, mainly just slow/easy runs , lots of recovery in between, not planning on doing Any races til very end of the year, and if its not working out may just run twice a week just to keep fit only
 
Did the toolern creek parkrun in melbourne australia this morning.... probably will be my only ever top 10 finish with 23.38.

1 minute better than my previous PB

Only 36 runners..... probably due to the 8am start they have over here

Struggling to get out at the moment. I have this sharp pain along the inside of my left foot heading towards the instep. I've got an idea that it could be caused by wearing adidas gazelles (I don't wear them for running in I hasten to add).
 
6 x 800 rep session tonight. having not done any of these for years and years I am starting to get into them. bloody hard work though.

Feeling pretty sharp and looking forward to one or two autumn races.
