Gradually geting back into it, I'm still about 10sec/k off the pace.
60km this week
10k each of Tues and Wed
Wed pm flew to Melbourne for 2 days of meetings
Thurs am ran the Tan with some colleagues. 1-4k in 5-5:30s, then left one person behind, next 3k in 4:50s, left the other behind, 2k in 4:15s
Fri am again ran with colleague - 7k in 4:50s, 3k alone in 4:15s. Didn't end up running a proper time trial due to time constraints and running with others
Hopefully when I head back in a couple of weeks I can run a full paced lap
Sunday am couldn't be bothered going to Freo HM, ran 18k in the morning, with about 10k at 4:15-4:20 pace. Half marathon pace, but felt lethargic at times this pace felt very much like HM pace, at others was harder.This is the pace I'll need to sustain for a 3hr marathon. Didn't have the energy/motivation to finish out 20+km which had been my intention
Onwards and upwards, a few more km this week is the intention.

Given the health issues in the last couple of weeks, perhaps the body needs time to adjust to the pace and demands of running. Ramp it up slowly and happy training !
Sounds as though things are going pretty well, next year is sub 3 time.
Should get the all clear tomorrow re the eye and am looking at doing Intervals again on Tues, may catch you there sometime.
Yeah the Tan is a great run, sounds like your colleagues found your pace a bit hot to handle.
Great to see you starting the transition towards becoming comfortable with the 4.15's with the Half and 42.195...
All the best with easing into that seriously early next year...
