The long and the short of it

The comeback is a long-game

Shorter races have never been my favourite, yet somehow I have completed the FVS 3k Relays 5 years in a row now - just goes to show what a team player I am! My time in last Thursday's 2011 iteration was 10:53, somewhat slower than the hoped for 10:40, suggesting that my race-form is a little slower than I thought. Still, it wasn't quite a full-out effort and I am still mindful of the need to enjoy running for its own sake.

My base fitness is still rising steadily and I am confident that by the end of the Summer I will be in respectable shape. Long runs are also continuing to feel easier, even as they gradually increase in distance and hilliness. Yesterday, I was pleased to complete a 14.5M undulating run with reasonable ease.
