3 weeks post marathon, not too much to report
Have done some interval sessions - 5x1k in 3:40 - 3:45 on 2 consecutive Tuesdays. Speed has flared some mild patellar tendonitis, so I've pulled back a touch.
Tried to do some hill sessions but have felt sluggish on days other than the intervals (?doing them too hard). 40-60k in the last couple of weeks.
I was going to do the Run4Gold but a family christening clashes so will push on training this week and leave racing til the C2S in 4 weeks. Don't think I'm quite at sub40 anuway, so the uninterrupted training is probably better. Might throw in a timetrial next Sunday pm anyway - was thinking of heading out at 4min/k and seeing how long I can last.
Nepal seems more imminent as I've nw bought all my equipment including boots (Raichle Mt Crest GTX). In September will hopefully do some walks to break them in.

Nice intervals (wish I can run that fast) A sub-48 C2S target looks a bit daunting for me right now. Keep on training and see you in 4 weeks.
As widi said, u definitely have some quick intervals going there... I'm yet to really get into the speed work as am building up endurance amidst minor injuries. I'm about 50/50 for the Run4Gold as I would like to see how things have progressed since the last 10km race a few months ago.. if all feels well I may just go along for the experience & prepare for the c2s.
Im with Widi,
excellent intervals!
I used to be able to run that fast, maybe will again if consistently train well for long enough and improve my lifestyle enough.
I may do the C2S half marathon, and I am hoping to be at run for gold but baby and wife takes priority of course, a very busy time for us. all the best with the legendary nepal plans, I might be heading for stirling ranges sometime soon.
not sure why youd be sluggish, only thought is that intervals usually need 24-48 hours recovery as they do take a lot out of the system, especially hills intervals...
Epi,
Me and Rob have 'grown old' and we are thinking to do a Masters run (over 30 y.o) on 12 Aug. I plan to do 10k if the conditions are right, otherwise will do a HM with Rob. It will start at Burswood, check out the Masters Aths WA website.
