Really good run and glad the calf held out. Take the pressure off yourself in regards to Cali and just remind yourself whatever happens your running well. I’ll be honest now and I know you wouldn’t want you to bullshit you. We’re currently at 84% of training and averaging 116pts per week. Which for someone of your ability is relatively low and obviously we’d like that % to be higher. Now I don’t want that to come across as negative as you’re in a much more difficult situation than most of my runners in that you travel a lot, also play football (if we included that the % would be higher) and you have to do a lot of solo running, which is tough. But the data doesn’t lie but we can use it to release that pressure, knowing that because of certain situations you’ve not quite hit the targets, so the improvement won’t be perhaps what we initially want. And then going forward you can react in two ways, one keep going, happy that you’re running well and posting good times, or two, commit further and say right, I’m going to hit 100% now and see what happens. To me, if you’re happy and feel like you’re running well, I’m happy with either approach. I don’t want to push any of my runners to the point they don’t enjoy their training. But I just mention it now because I have this data at hand and I really provides a lot of clues and answers as to what to expect in the goal races. Any questions just ask. But in summary. I’m still happy with what we are doing, even at 84% because, as mentioned I know the challenges you face, that others don’t and I know you are still running considerable better than when we first teamed up.
