Belated New Years post - just got back from a week down south.
Managed 117k for the last week of the year, and 430km for December
Running in Albany was great, Yallingup less so, but managed o run every day and just did holiday running - no sessions per se.
2010 Review - 'an interesting year'
January - Knee injury and surgery - pretty much no running for the month
Feb - started running again with Boston as target
March - big training month and great HM run at Darlington, Mona camp was a highlight
Stress reaction in femur/'thigh splints' made me stop running entirely
April - mixed blessings - almost no running in the 3 weeks leadup to Boston, but still managed a great 3:01
May - recovery
June - 3:11 Perth marathon off 4x70km weeks was pleasing
July-September - flare of knee, moving house meant little running, no races
October - back to training gradually and an 85min HM showed promise
November - 10k track PB 37:30, 28:02 7.5km race and more consistent training
December - 430km, consistent interval sessions and the body holding together
2011 Ahead - the goal is sub3hr at Boston (a more aggressive goal is PB, and mre aggressive still is 2:54.
My plan is 100km plus weeks consistently whilst managing the knee, hopefully will bring back in a medium long midweek run, perhaps at the expense of Tuesday intervals.
Target leadup races : Matilda Bay 10k 23rd Jan, Darlington Half Marathon 13th March
I'll also be doing the Monaghetti camp again in March
Epi,
