A bit (well a lot) of a post-marathon lull, due to injury and jadedness
I went several months without managing a long run nor a training session - just barely ticking over really. However, despite this, I still picked up the 1st V50 prize in the Midweek League and avoided losing heart altogether. Muscling through those severe calf-cramps at Rotterdam really did some damage. My £20 three-in-one foam-roller set from Argos has been a fantastic buy!
I have no races planned soon, but I do have a guarunteed good-for-age place for the London Marathon next spring. For now, I'm simply enjoying being able to run more frequently again without pain and do a few speed-sessions.
Despite everything, I still think I'd be comfortably under 39 mins for 10k, which is pretty good all things considered and not a bad place to build from.
