Goat is upon me.

Ok The Goat is one week away. I've done a nice long 3 week taper so we'll see how that works out.

The Goat behehehkons

Tapering for the goat starts next week. Although paradoxically this means more running but less long runs. The sun is torturing me but hopefully all this punishment will pay off.

Feeling hot hot hot

Ok so the Sun has returned with a vengence. I have cut my training down to 4 days with most of the sessions in the heat of the day. I'm trying to get used to running in the heat. I've also cut back my sessions by 15 mins.....cos it's hot out there.

Light training

Bad cold reduces training but better to rest. Recovered now and will start goat training on Tuesday.

Training for the Goat.

Today is day 1 of training for the pig that is the goat. Billat test today to establish good training paces, followed by a nice 40 min run. Let it train, let it train, let it train.

Stormy weather

Ok so it's been high winds and rain for the past two weeks which suits me fine. I've been resting a calf injury and doing light running every other day. Back to full strength now and will start back on training plan at 70% tomorrow with a 1.5hr long slow run (which aren't really that slow anymore).

Rest is not rest.

Ok so been taking it easy for the last two weeks. Just doing 70% of usual training as the next race isn't until December. Been concentrating more on my form and breathing. Start back on weights and core next week. Slight pain in right calf shortened my run today only 30mins of an easy 50 could feel it pulling yesterday, am icing it and will take a day off tomorrow. All my training is now on hills except for my VO2 MAX stress training.
