All the best for an injury free year in 2009<BR/><BR/>As for what you said about me struggling to pull off sub 3:20 marathon times in the past, it was true, and I was wondering myself if I could ever get my times down for a sub 3 hour marathon.<BR/><BR/>But what I didn't know and stupidly didn't pick up until 8 months ago was I was never going to run a sub 3 on 40 to 60 kms a week, with injuries, and being 5 to 10kgs overweight, optimal running weight. Actually I wonder now how I ever broke 3:20 with the condition I was in and the weak build ups I went into the marathons with. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, I think that if I can drop my weight another 4kgs, have no injuries and manage a 12 week build up on between 120 and 150k a week, I will know my full potential. I'm yet to come close to that, but I'am going to try in the next few years.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughtful words about the situation with Eddie. I have taken this hard but I'm determined not the get too gloomy. There are people that need me/us. And I'm all for increasing the intensity, as you said.Samurai Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295160713705142193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-12976933389521251092008-12-02T17:13:00.000+09:002008-12-02T17:13:00.000+09:00Okaeri---Otouchan, & congratulation on your gr...Okaeri---Otouchan, & congratulation on your great race!<BR/>You were so fast.zihuatanejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808745545965337309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-51058958046718701922008-11-28T19:33:00.000+09:002008-11-28T19:33:00.000+09:00Yeeha!!

The club of 40:00 10k runners is very exclusive, just like the club of runners who've run 4:00.0 for the mile.<BR/><BR/>Lucky you didn't break 40 or I imagine you would have done the Bolt "lightening bolt" in celebration!Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-57992694334095226972008-11-27T12:14:00.000+09:002008-11-27T12:14:00.000+09:00That is a great come back performance.
