Cruising along

It's been awhile since my last post so decided it's about time to post again.

Running has been going well and clocking up reasonable km's- the last two weeks have seen a bit of a spike again with both around the 145km mark all of which has been at an easy pace. It seems that this is when I run my best with lots of quantity.

On the race front, I've done a couple of pb's on weeks with good mileage with 5km at Lake Gwelup in 17:47 on a 130km plus week including an interval session and Freo Half of 1:20:08 was done on a 90km week which also included a Mona Fartlek record and a tempo run.

There has been quite a bit of work done on the glute activation front and the physio is very happy with progress in this area. The next step is to work on some glute mass, especially on the left side which hopefully in turn will assist with the left hammie and give me some speed in some of the shorter distances.

Its really good to see a number of the guys having recently done Marathons with Sling and TB doing Melb and Simon E doing Berlin. Also great to see Biscuitman clocking up some decent km's and going great guns in his quest for Houston in Jan.
