More riding in and out each day. Getting strong on the hills on the bike. Had it serviced today and it was running very smoothly on the way home. Given up on swimming though. Just too boring. Up to 66.2kgs. Been increasing the weight on my back doing the eccentric loading and can now put quite a bit of weight on my left achilles without pain. Also icing immediately after which I'm sure helps. Am still constantly aware of it though. Back to see the Doc on Wednesday and really hoping he'll allow me to start jogging again. Feel as though there is nothing to be lost by doing so.
Some great results at the weekend - Durante running 32:08 and Muz 32:28 being standouts - both beating Tucks for the first time. He didn't run badly either with a 32:36. Good solid run by Kanser in 33:29 plus some sub-35's from Phil Woods, John Binfield and TB (first time).
Emailed Sean Williams this evening to discuss a training plan for the marathon. Kanser's looking too strong so I need some expert advice.

How you can envisage running a marathon and then say that swimming "is just too boring" is beyond me.
Swimming is good if you're prepared to put the time and effort in (a bit like running a marathon really). Best of luck with the training.
You forgot TJA back with a sub 35 as well.
Swimming is very good cross taining, non load bearing. Keeps your back strong for the last 12ks of a marathon.
Can't believe you are going to Sean for a plan....when Durante considered joining Sean's squad you where the first to complain..won't make a difference anyhow...

With Kanser on that one mate, I'll do a program for you - Easy. Just get out there and put the miles and hard work in ? Even at 70% fit you'll still be to quick for one D.Kane :)
Good luck on the recovery trail>
