To race is but a dream...

[shadydaz]

It's been an inconsistent few months with yet more changes in personal circumstances, namely moving house. Leading up to the move I was struggling mentally with a few things and this had a knock on effect on the training. As you know coach, there has been a few runs to keep things ticking over and stop the legs getting full amnesia.

Now that i am moved and settled i am back out more regular. Here's the tale of the tape since my last significant post:

Probably not a good idea, but yesterday was day 1. Race day is Sunday the 15th Dec. 10km Race. lets see what happens on a sub 45 cycle playing the intervals by feel. Target for the race is to pace my friend to a sub 50 so not aiming for anything too strenuous.

Obviously there is a bit of work to do to recover full fitness again but been feeling good and comfortable and recovering quickly without anything being too taxing on the body or mind this week.
