Place 1st in my age category. Personal: I'm a Brit living in a small town in the south west of Germany, on the edge of a nature park, the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald. The landscape is very hilly with vineyards & orchards on the lower slopes merging into forest above. 42 years young, married since 1997 to my lovely wife. Favorite Blogs: |

| A.M. Usual dreadful night's sleep after a race. Recovery 12k today in 1:00:56. av pace 5:05/k, 8:10/mi. Felt in good shape and put the brakes on myself to keep the pace slow. Good weather again, warm in the sunshine and pleasant to run on soft trails. Some slight tenderness in my right achilles and a sore throat that refuses to get better. It does keep my wife amused though as I must be the world's worst at gargling, I can hear her laughing as I accidentally yet again swallow some of the salt water mixture. | | Add Comment |

A.M. Cold and frosty, my last long run for a while. I actually feel a little sorry, I’m starting to really enjoy these long runs. My aim today was to run for 3 hours, keep it comfortable, steady and keep the garmin screen on time of day so that I wasn’t influenced by pace or distance. The last few weeks I haven’t struggled on the hills at the end as I have done previously and I felt good throughout today. I drank some water with a little fruit juice every 10k. At the end it turned out to be 39,2k in 3:00:28, av pace 4:36/k, 7:25/mi.
My sore throat has eased a little, my sister rang me on the weekend and suggested zinc tablets to suck, which perhaps have helped. | | Comments(4) |

A.M. A freezing cold & icy again, ran a hilly trail that takes me past a couple of castles. I felt tired and it was a slow start, threw in some striders half way into the run to perk up a little which did the trick. The starting pace was 5:05/k, finishing pace 4:10/k. Total 16,3k in 1:17:17 with 6 x 100m striders, av pace 4:44/k, 7:38/mi. | | Add Comment |
