19/4 - Disaster

Sunday 19th Apr
Improved 5k time like a labouring camel. Then dropped box of Up and Gos point down on foot. Dented but unbroken. 

Don’t remember always wanting to quit at 25m. Nor breaking down mileage into sets of hated primary school athletics carnival 800m: ‘Only 4 more 800s to go’. Hello new norm. 



16/4Better 5km

Saturday 18th Apr
Back to old stamping ground. Forgot halfway point includes FULL hill to rest bench. Mood killler. Ugly shambling zombie sprint in last 500m trying to best clock and save pride.

11/4 Worse than anticipated

Saturday 18th Apr
5km used to be easy. Tried a Park Run route. Alarmingly slow, even after adrenaline surge from huge snake. Had to break it in 2. Left hip and feet sore. Proposed mileage in doubt.

Training run 3 - form horrendous

Tuesday 24th Mar
Faster on flat but can’t sustain it. Fartleks until quads tired. In a moment of exhausted clarity, understood Beach Boys were singing ‘Huarache sandals too’.


Readying myself

Monday 16th Mar
Weak 5km in sandhills with many stops to get heart rate down.
Have lost form, focusing on gym as meno survival.
Need to get back to comfortable, non-stop 5km on flat to improve speed and endurance.
The plan is 155km, 5k for each day in May.
Need to be fit enough to manage 2 x7.5k and a 10 early on to earn days off.
