Hi Simon, Is this where I post comments? I’m starting an update now, but may have to finish another time: Sorry I missed the June pmt, forgot as away, sorted now. Injuries: Hamstring still not fully recovered, but I have maybe 90% movement. Rest time over, time for active recovery, no noticeable pain once moving. While in the US I had a back strain, which presumably was a result of the hamstring. This was a bad strain which took pushing 10 days to resolve. this is sorted now, I’ve had several over the years. Back in the Uk I got another lesser back strain, also sorted now. so I’m ready to train! Ran Abbots wood pr last sat, worst surface I’ve run at park run. While in fl, I started pr’s at the back using the crowd to slow me down. So my first fl pr was 34:05, I struggled to even walk properly, due to back strain, the following week (06/06) I ran 23:49 which I was v pleased with. Then (13/06) I was pleased with 25:07 at abbots wood, but I did suffer! current targets: Venice Oct 26 I’ve also entered the ballot for Cape Town, which I think is June 27. Failing that I’m looking at San Francisco Jul 27, no ballot. hilliest course I’ve looked at. I may also consider a European marathon in spring 27, maybe Copenhagen (0527) – ballot, or somewhere in Poland. After abbots wood I had the second back strain – now sorted. Obv atm the heat is an issue.
