Good work NN, rhb, and Gobi.

Gobi always nice to be able to outkick someone.

4:29.1 for me for 1500m today 4th A and 6th overall at track league. I've now done 4 1500m this year, all within 2.5 secs of each other (4:27.1 to 4.29.6), consistent!

Then did 4x4, last leg so I could take it easy if in no man's land. Was in no man's land but was chased down by a proper 400 runner!

Still planning a 5000m attempt in August as long as I'm fit. Hopefully achilles niggle will have cleared by then.

Anyone racing this weekend?

Another 5k for me next Thursday. Managed a few sessions this week, so hopefully will see a bit of improvement from last time out.

My period of downtime hasn't turned out to be quite so down as initially planned. I was on holiday in Slovenia for 11 days, and I just couldn't resist the urge to run in the beautiful landscape. So did a fair amount of hills, often in hot weather, which is obviously physical stress to the system - but at the same time an amazing psychological stress release. I wonder where the right balance point is. 5 miler coming up in 2 weeks time which should test out where I am.
