Great to have you along Chris. I hope you still enjoyed running with the group despite the back. I hope this small work break will help give the back a chance to recover. As long as it does get better the timing is pretty good, given you needed some time out for the conference (I always try and find a positive spin on these things). I’m convincing myself my now 6 week break is a good thing as it’s got me doing more cross training and strength work that I’ve neglected in my own training. 4 x 1km is still a decent session.
