Going with the flow

Came down Fri evening with a bad case of gastro , this was unfortunate as it meant we missed out on the chance of a long weekend in Mandurah and no running. Starting to feel a bit better now so hopefully will be to go for a light run later on this afternoon.

Week in Summary 40k@4:42

Tues 10k total incl Intervals-5*800m with 2min 30 sec break, 2:50,2:49,2:50,2:55,2:57. Pretty happy with effort in tough conditions 34deg with no wind, happy to do all under 3:00 and prob could have managed one more at that pace.

Wed 8.5k@4:58

Thurs 13k@4:40 Fantastic morning for running and ran with Biscuitman from WAMC to Maylands and back and then along to South Perth. Nice relaxed run and happy with effort.

Fri 8.5k@4:40

I'm booked in for Steve Moneghetti's training camp in March down at Dwellingup which will be covering a whole range of long distance topics and am very excited to be able to attend, should give great insight to how the champs prepare and train.

12 weeks to Boston, have no firm goal at this stage due to lack of running and will just take it as it comes. I would like to think that sub 3.15 is a possibilty if I can get a few decent weeks in and 4 or 5 30k+ runs.

Impressive work on the intervals, that's 3:35 min/km average pace.

I envy you guys for having the chance to go to the Mona camp (unfortunately it falls on the same week as Seoul).

Make sure you take some notes and share the insights :)
