Two things - firstly, thought I’d check in with you as it’s been a while. Another few erratic cycles over the past 8 weeks, back into the office full time but now back at home 3 days then office 2, so training plans needing to be played around with again. But, pleased to say I'm still fit. I've not progressed too much, but, I've taken about half a second off my average 5x2k splits, I’ll take that considering my training has been up and down hence not getting any gainz understandably so. Hitting the 6*1ks at the same speed still so overall I'm pleased and although I’ve not really got any quicker, in my head I’m more confident in running these speeds knowing I can sustain, so it’s all getting me closer to achieving sub 35 at some point.
Secondly, next Thursday 8th I'm booked in for a vasectomy. I’ve been informed not to run for 2 weeks after. May I ask if you've any experience with other runners on this matter and in particular recuperation period etc?
Many thanks as always,
Neil
