Stopped running mid June with the achilles showing no sign of improvement and, in fact, deteriorating the longer is run. Started doing a lot...

6km on the treadmill in the Four Seasons Hotel. 23:42.

Slow and long isn't working so am trying short and fast.  Two local loops in the early evening.  6.2km in 24:20 (3:54's).

12.5km with Enda, Gidon and Jac.  Achilles sore the whole way and it's getting worse.  Got to change things up as it's not improving...

Started using Jack's massage stick on the calves last night and it seemed to do a load of good. Woke up with the achilles not as bad as ...

Tuesday (having missed Sunday and Monday). Can't catch a trick at the moment. Laid out again by this low level bug. Start to get a heada...

Too tired from the Perth trip to do Striders so headed out for my favourite loop of Manly Dam in the afternoon and decided to push the pace ...

Swapped my planned Mona Fartlek to a long tempo, partly listening to the Tiger and partly listening to my body.   Did a short warm up due to...

Met Timmy and Renaud for a different MLR. The former is keen on starting his C2S training so we headed out to Heartbreak Hill. Renaud turned...
