January 25, 2019 Marathon Recovery - today I jog
Back in Belfast, feeling a little jet lagged but not too bad. “Not that I would ever complain anyway”

Thanks so much for everybody’s support and love this week, I was asked to set up this page : https://ko-fi.com/roadtotokyo2020

I was hesistant to do that, but as I think it could help for now while support is a minimum. I went ahead and did that.

Have a good day

It’s a nice feeling going into my first race in almost 6-7 months healthy.

It’s been a long but successful camp, there’s not much left I can do.

Getting close to race day.

Absolute pleasure, talking to fellow UA pro athlete, Aisha,

We talk:

* What it takes to win Com Games Gold
* Training group, relationship with group members and how that can help success
* How invested Aisha is, and what it takes to be an athlete at her level
* Aisha is completely Dairy free, and how that's helped her training / Performances

Can I just repeat - Commonwealth Games GOLD medalist.

Pleasure.

Crazy and emotional 24 hours, letting my emotions hijack my brain.

Body has sense calmed down:

6* mile today 7000ft below marathon hr throughout

5.15/5.14/5.10/5.06/5.08/5.12

Colder this am - practiced running in long tights, wasn’t as bad as I thought. There is hope.
