Pretty good time under the circumstances. Good photo of you and your friend running past the church. Melbourne's a great city for churches - and running!Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651312018755327750.post-91957376112693197762010-08-17T09:08:06.949+10:002010-08-17T09:08:06.949+10:00Great job Paul!

Now I am using Hudson's run faster plan, which has more miles.Running and livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057835870342142162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651312018755327750.post-79463091507775436262010-08-15T12:19:31.208+10:002010-08-15T12:19:31.208+10:00Very good question (as always) canute.

I have certainly returned to pre-Furman levels of fitness very quickly!<br /><br />Alison - yes, sorry I missed you too. I saw Mrs WOOH at about 18k and she said you were "miles ahead" so no surprise I didn't see you on the road. You're still my pin-up for achieving hard goals!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351362929986243024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651312018755327750.post-44443308642089095362010-08-15T08:28:48.333+10:002010-08-15T08:28:48.333+10:00it was a good day, wasn't it?

This year you have wisely decided not to set too many demanding goals, and you are adopting a fairly relaxed attitude to your races, so it is no surprise that you are not matching your great performances of last year.<br /> <br />Your superb 93 min HM in Williamstown last year and then you great performance in the Melbourne marathon qualified you to be a poster boy for Furman, and confirmed that Furman is an effective program for achieving an immediate marathon goal. But perhaps the big question is whether it provides a good foundation for building from one season to the next, or even provides a good enough base to sustain a reasonable level of fitness while you recharge the batteries for a subsequent building phase. What are your thoughts on this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
