10 years now I have been running but I think this is the most excited I have been for a race. Not just from a personal point of view but because the buzz in town right now. What Rhys is doing, what HY are doing, what we are doing with Team Orange, it’s bloody brilliant and the positivity is infectious. These days won’t last forever so let’s go out there, run hard but smile and soak up the support. I can’t wait. Any issues with the schedule just shout. Could always sneak in another easy run instead of the gym if you prefer.

A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

Good session with a small but perfect group, really enjoyed it, feeling strong atm.
That’s such a nice feeling to have and the group is always better for having you along as you’re really positive and supportive of the others, so thank you 🧑 Great session Michael

Combining both legs and arms into one gym session. Loads of exercises here so try and superset them to save time.

All done in 1 hour 20 minutes with a few super sets to get it done, saw a few other runners down there which is always nice
Great work Michael. It’s a pretty big session that. Always good to see some other runners in the gym working hard. I’m enjoying the variety it offers.

Hardly a rest with 2 hospital visits, drop ins to see family and friends but good to know a plan for Josh
Yes I can imagine it is very mentally draining right now. But good to get a plan in place for Josh and fingers crossed it all goes ok 🧑

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.

Happy to get a 2 1/2 minute course PB on an unusually warm day I took advantage of every water station but walked to drink it and pour over me. Got what I wanted and expected but once again struggled going up Queensway! Thanks as ever for the plan, support and encouragement, onwards and upwards.
I’ve always loved you. You know that right? And class you as a really good friend. But my respect for how you reacted to such a different period in your life is off the charts. And I just hope the running has gone a little way to help you get through this. Another great performance, and to be able to play a tiny part in helping you in the past few months means an awful lot to me. Great running Michael.
