@juanito - Well done on the 800, hopefully the concentration on short/quick running will be paying off over the Summer. Really encouraging depth of performances in the first Southern League team, and I'm looking forward to getting involved, even if I might be struggling by the looks of it to make the scoring team for 3,000/5,000!
I probably shouldn't be surprised that this marathon recovery is taking its time. I thought I'd be OK to try an interval session last night just to get back into the swing of things, but just couldn't get going, and decided to bail after a single km rep when I felt a vague niggle in the right achilles. (The "good" one!) I think it's more a result of temporary tightening than an injury worry but all the more reason to back off. I've got a mini bike tour planned for the bank holiday weekend (~200 miles/3 days) so probably won't bother attempting another run before then.
More reflections on the marathon; as well as 3rd V45 I managed my best overall position for London, 92nd, so I'll take that. Still feeling a little flat about missing my time target so thoughts are turning to an Autumn attempt. Looks like we might have a crew going out to Frankfurt, end of October, so I think there's a very good chance I'll enter if I get back into gear over the next few weeks.
