Marathon plans

Got my marathon mojo back and signed up for Berlin next year- so pumped for that already, Oktoberfest is on at the same time and we'll pop up to Munich straight after the run. Canberra has been pencilled in for April so my running focus is on at that present.

On the running front, I've been having issues with my hammie and butt which is referred pain from the back. As a result all speedwork, tempo runs and MP are off the agenda for the time being and the focus is on building the km's. Doing lots of stretching, using foam roller and going to physio so hopefully will be on top of it soon.

Last 3 weeks have been 107, 127 and 143 averaging between mid 4.30's and low 4.40's for the week and am feeling nice and fit but not fast. I'm enjoying the mid week runs of around 25k and the Sunday runs which are back up to 32k and these are my main runs in this phase of the program.

Great to see Epi do a 5k pb and Bman is going from strength to strength in his training for Houston
