After the relative disappointment of Highgate there was little I could do to gain fitness before the next opportunity which is the London 10K on Bank Holiday Monday. So a few easier days, a sharpener session & generally taking care of myself. Continue reading

Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PB’s
Surely now established as the best night in the domestic running calendar? This event has grown into a huge spectacle over recent years & it is already a must do/see day of distance running with thousands attending & many more streaming it live. Continue reading
W/C 15/5/17 – The Waiting Week
One session planned, some easy running & just generally preparing for Saturday’s race!

The following Sunday marks 16 weeks to Berlin, & will also be a decent run out at the Ramathon as my annual guest appearance in the Thermo Fisher vest for Jo’s corporate team. That will finish my recovery week & it will then be into the specific block of training for Berlin, although looking to include several early season track races to compliment the increased volume & keep the speed in my legs!
