And most of all - fingers crossed i can remain injury free.
...when will i ever learn!!!
Those who follow my Facebook page... gratuitous click here for link to my Facebook page ;) ... will be well aware that recent weeks have been injury riddled... Nothing serious, just recurring injuries that i can't seem to shake.
Apart from my dodgy knee (which i'm hoping tomorrow's physio visit will fix) things have been progressing well.
I've been spending a bit of time in the pool and my swim is feeling better than i can remember.
I haven't been spending long hours on the bike, opting at this stage to work on some short sharp high intensity trainer sessions. The few times i have been on the TT bike, it's felt good - love the Trinity, it feels so fast and smooth. I'm looking forward to getting some long rides happening pretty soon.
And the run...well apart from the injury...i'm really pleased. I'm starting to get some nice distance without pulling up too sore. 20k runs through the trails and hills are becoming the norm, and the progress toward the Melbourne Marathon is on track...
I really believe the splitting my running between the Vibrams and the pseudo-minimal Brooks is paying dividends. I'm comfortably running 8-10k in the Vibrams and really notice the change in style to a more natural fore to mid-foot strike.
Unfortunately, due to the knee injury i'm not confident that i'll be racing at Hazelwood this weekend.
Fingers crossed i'm running at full tilt again soon and can continue to build toward the Melbourne Marathon and Noosa. I might even try to convince a few other people who are competing at Noosa to do a practice Olympic distance race in late September / early October... It's not that cold in bay, surely i'm not the only crazy one ;)
Until next time, happy training!!
