Adders Apr 2012 9:59am, 5 Apr 2012 235 posts	0 Adders Ah right. Well good luck with the recovery daviec. I looked at your profile pdavey. You aiming for a sub 2 min 800 this year? If so, then perhaps doing a marathon in a couple of weeks wont help! I reckon I will attempt my first run tomorrow. This would be exactly 4 weeks after sustaining the injury. Hopefully no pain!

Once this month is over and I've recovered it'll be nice to get some speed back and threaten this time... I'll be lurking hoping to pick up tips...
Adders Apr 2012 11:04pm, 6 Apr 2012 237 posts	0 Adders Did my first run today. Exactly 4 weeks since i picked up injury. Relieved to say it was painless. As expected I am miles out of shape. Hopefully I can regain my endurance soon enough and focus on the track season. I need the speed work asap!
JamieKai chameleon Apr 2012 11:10pm, 6 Apr 2012 4,308 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon Seems marathon training has had more effect than I thought. 36.29 and 111 seconds off my PB. So happy on the finish line that the number checker gave me a spot prize - great day all round.

JamieKai chameleon Apr 2012 11:23pm, 6 Apr 2012 4,309 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon I'm Garmin-less at the moment, so I have no splits. At 4k I was overtaken by 3rd lady, and one of her supporters shouted that we were on sub36 papers. To be honest, I think if I'd been wearing a watch I'd have slowed down...
djwatson74 Apr 2012 9:36pm, 9 Apr 2012 208 posts	0 djwatson74 Hi guys, Yeovil 10k today, decided on the morning, as a guy I met at a BBQ good Friday offered me a lift.no training, ran fast first half and suffered the rest! Ran my fastest split ever in first mile (5:55) ave pace 6:13.which gave me 38:46. I just ran out of breath, does that mean more long slow runs for me? Help.
