Good news to report this time around as I did manage to run 32km last week, 2x10, and a 12km for my own private city 2 surf. I have noticed that my fitness has unfortunately dropped off as the comfortable pace is quite a lot slower that before, though as I am back cycling again to work (so happy it's spring!) hopefully I will get back to where I was soon.
All in all my right knee still is not 100% and I know for next time not to run through any pain as it's just not worth it. My plan is to ever so slightly increase the km's this week and am hoping that I get in a +20km run again within a month.
Well the world championship's have come and gone and as an aussie have mixed feelings about how we performed. It sure was great to see live both Jana win the 400m Hurdles, and Deakes win the 50km walk.
Not much needs to be said about Craig Mottram's run really... except that I had been waiting since the start of the year when I got into running and followed his great performances over the months so was really looking forward to see him realise his dream... only to inexplicably run out of juice towards the end of the race. Perhaps he just peaked a month or two too early, similar in some ways I guess to Alan Webb.
All in all I really enjoyed watching the athletics all week... it was handy having our time zone so close to Osaka that there weren't any late nights or early mornings required. Bring on the olympics I want more!
