Back running again, after basically stopping post marathon, and arrival of baby, my low point was 21+ minute 5k in a sprint tri (slower than my marathon pace in April!)
Just been doing lots of low intensity stuff for the last three weeks, running 6 days per week, and trying to stick to maf hr (ie sub 144bpm for me), this has involved a fair bit of walking and cheating (148 is ok right?!) at times when I get bored and runs have mostly been around 6min per km, managed 58k last week, aim to hit 60k ish this week and then stick around here till Christmas, not adding much if any intensity.
After 3 weeks beginning to see some progress which is encouraging!
Hopefully I have a spot for Boston next year, so the aim is to get back into sub3 shape basically hitting 100km weeks from feb but would ideally like to get down to 2:50, will see how training goes!
