From Injuried To Ready To Race!

Yesterday I visited sports physio Sarah Hall for a final check up before my first race back!
The calf now seems fully healed up and the training has been going really well.
We decided to treat the Harrock Hill Race as a progression run, starting off below full effort and building up speed as the race goes on.
This should be fun, letting runners pull away from me on the first climb before overtaking as many runners as possible to the finish.
Highest top speed for 10 years!
After a easy run round the Velvet Trail I did a set of 6 x 20 second strides on grass, hitting my highest top speed for many years 15.5 MPH!
Which goes to show the Marius Bakken 5K training is going pretty dam good!
Tess Injured!
On Sunday Tess was the one to get injured limping on her rear right leg towards the end of the run with Rob, thankfully she seems to recover faster than me and was back to 4 wheel drive by today after a days rest!
