6 months to go

Just after the marathon I was ill for 3-4 weeks (possible piggy flu but more likely man flu) I have been struggeling to find my legs and get back into it. Got out a few times in the past couple of weeks but there is no speed so a fast time in the January prom classic 10k is out the question aim for as close to 40mins as comfartable.

Here is 2 weeks ago:



Here is todays run its around the forest track hilly and uneven.(Yes I know it looks awfull I have my work cut out)

Here we go again!

Just had the conformation of being accepted onto the 2010 WHW race. 3rd time in a row so the target again will be sub 24 hours need to put in some more long training runs than last time and work harder on my refuel strategy.
Did the Nice-Cannes marathon 3 weeks ago in 3:32 so I should be in reasonable shape for starting training at 30k long runs at the weekend but Im also keen on a sub 1:30 half marathon in February in Cannes so will need to find a balance of speed and distance untill feb then ramp up distance to the 60km+ runs.
