I'm back! After much achilles woe, my first bit of quicker running since pulling out of Bath HM early March was parkrun in Gorky Park, Moscow, a couple of Saturdays ago. Felt very unfit and was chicked by MsPub. (To be fair she's quite quick!) Have since managed a couple of ten milers and lots of cross-training and fitness appears to be coming back. Ran the Battersea Park Assembly League race (5k) last night in 16:57, and achilles feels next to normal, so I'm getting back on the track next week.
Training for L'Etape will ensure a good mix of x-training continuing, but it's nice to be running quickly again without feeling shit.
