Hi there people!
Long time no see, how are you all doing?
I just came back to tell that I'm still training and that yesterday, after a lot of time having not very decent results in races, I got a PB on the half marathon with 1h19'23". Starting this year I started to feel better and last 10K was 37:10, not bad, and from then on I also had the feeling that I was improving a little bit. So yesterday It showed to be!

I'm pretty happy and I just wanted to share with the users that I feel that may had be reading my feedback some time ago and wondered what happened that I suddenly left!
It was an amazing run and most of my team mates at corredors.cat also got pretty decent results!! There's some enjoyable competitiveness kicking recently in our community, people is training a lot!
Just wanted to do a quick update and share with you. Some things changed with starting this year. I finally decided to relax a little bit my self-imposed rules about vegetarianism and reintroduced fish and seafood into my diet, also been testing with dropping grains as I suspect they may not suit me very well (this recently I got pretty sold on the Paleo living style). I guess I may have left my anaemia behind because I feel pretty well this recently but I guess I should do some blood work to be sure. At least I feel well!
My next challenge will be the Marathon. It will be in 4 weeks. I already have a 32K run in my hand and some other 24 to 27 runs so I guess I have most of the work done. Last year I was 1h20' in the 1/2 and got able to debut with 2h56' with pretty good feelings, this year I'm planning to try to beat a sub 2h53', I think it sounds reasonable
Even if I'm training a little bit on my own, I still apply some of the concepts learned here, specially for the relaxed runs. And yesterday when racing also remembered a lot from TheEd's advice "start fast, then settle pace, run relaxed, focus on the last km's as it's the toughest part, and you should be able to pull a fast last km"...
So this it's all for now, hope you're all still training hard for your challenges
