Your month away has flown by Ness. How is your calf now?

I’ve been doing a bit of running, Wp. It’s Very hilly here (hairpin bends on the road up to the villa!) so I’m only doing 3k when I go out.

It has really flown by. My calf is much better thanks, GM. I managed a long walk on the beach today. I'm still going to get some advice from a physio when I get home but 🤞 I seem to be over the worst.

Well done, WP.

I meant to check in to the thread when I got back from GC. My weight had crept up a bit before I left for the holiday. I was at 61.55kgs so I was worried that it might have gone up even more while I was holidaying. I checked yesterday morning before going to parkrun and found I was 61.4kgs so no change really. Hopefully a bit more focused effort will get down to my target 60kgs

How are you doing GM?

Ness: That is good news especially as you could not run whilst away.I am sure regular running when able will help you reach target :)

It is harder with the extra miles and now PT wants me to eat a banana pre workout.I always would workout on empty tum just like a run.

I love the Stoltman brothers from WSM etc and follow them on youtube.They posted video on what they eat day before a competition with their nutritionist...wowser :-)

HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?
