What a great time of the year to be in Perth, the weather has been fantastic. Spent part of the day today down the beach with the dogs in Mandurah.
Week in Summary 90.71k@4:27
Pretty good week of running with energy levels increasing and so a better week of running all round. Adductor, Quad attachment and Hips are all a bit sore but nothing I haven't encountered before, so with a couple of easier weeks leading up to Melb, hopefully will freshen up nicely for the race.
Blood test came back with most things pretty good, although ferritin levels of 38 are quite low. Will look at addressing this after Melbourne.
Mon 8.22k@4:22
Tues 10k@4:36
Wed 9.1k@4:23
Thurs 16.72k@4:09 Run with Biscuitman on the normal Pen course incl 8k@4:00 for faster than MP effort.
Fri 10k@4:41 Incl some hills. Also had a good massage by physio.
Sat 26.67k@4:30 Easy long run with Biscuitman practicing some race day routines. Hip and Quad attachment sore from 14.5 km which made the going a little tough but good practice just in case it happens on Marathon day, was similar to what occurred at Boston.
Sun 10k@4:31 incl last km at quicker than MP.
Next week will aim to run around 65km and have a physio session and a massage booked. Key sessions include 1600m efforts on Thurs and Long run of around half Marathon on weekend at approx 4:30-4:40 pace.
It's a shame to see Sling not doing the marathon, however think he's made the right decision to go down to the half. Hopefully Epi is still running and I believe TB is on track.
Great grand final yesterday, now looking forward to the replay.

the clown juggernaut just keeps on coming...all the best with tapering, you have lots to taper from.
exciting GF, no result very anti-climatic. Goddar5d mark in the last quarter and davis goal in the last quarter were both pretty special especially the mark.
all the best with the niggles, and sure is beach weather!
Rob, good week. U mentioned about tens machine before. Do you think it works?
Hi Widi, just been using the TENS machine. I think it's pretty good and seems to work for me for things such as general soresness and strains etc.
