Well, yesterday I really broke the 60min rule. Göteborgsvarvet together with my wife. :duh:

I tried to keep up the pace at the easy distance on monday and landed at 4:57/k. Little to fast but it didn´t feel to hard so if I can keep it at 5:05-10 I think it will work. Rest of the week I was resting before G-varvet.

The coming week its all about recovery from the 2:23:25 race yesterday.

normally when you in a running event it tends to be easier but is still time on feet, good to hear no problems after the 21k

Cheers and recover nicely

Hi there!

Been a while since I´ve checked in here.

In the last year I have been struggling as usuall with injuries and this winter I had to take a two months break from running again because of a hip problem! Went to spinning and wieghts instead.

Been running again since mars. Have built it up to 30k and 3 times per week combined with biking 70-100k/week. Did a 5,1k race today at 22:13. That feels ok but now I´m back at calfeproblems again! It seems I cant get it right......

Hope everything is ok with you?

Cheers,

Big Swede

Great to hear from you Big Swede

you must be pretty frustrated with all this nonsense

here's hoping you can beat the problems

try to give yourself more rest between training and keep it short and sweet

I take it you going to your city's big event in 3 weeks time?

Cheers

Yes, I will give it a go again in Gothenburg but I´m doing a 10k race in Mariestad the weekend before.

Did a 5x2k 10 days ago that felt ok. Avaraged 4:18/k. Will do the 6x1k this week then easy and perhaps a temporun.

Thanks for the advice. Rest will be an important part of my plan.

Cheers
