Frustration Creeps In. . . .

. . . . When freak accidents hamper progress. That twisted ankle - a seemingly freak accident - has stopped me running since 14 Feb. I jogged for the first time since the injury last night. Although it is not 100% I managed 30 mins total easy running plus a few relaxed strides. My run progress really has been hampered since January. With the Dambuster Duathlon less than 2 weeks away, I can honestly say that I am not ready to run sub 40 mins for 10k. Last year my 10k opening run was 37:10 - and that was not a great run. But eye on the goal! Let's not be disheartened as I can still make top run form by June for the National Middle Distance Tri Champs. The bike sessions have all been on the turbo and I have reduced distance but increased strength work. Come April I will build the long sessions on the road and start with some key IM sessions. In particular, I am looking forward to the metric IM session! Sags Out
