Only one run this weekend 18k at 5:05 pace. It was a nice run but with so much to get done on the weekend I did not have time to get serious.
Anyway. At the beginning of the year I read Glen Hendry's blog on a race he ran over on Russel island. To cut a long story short the result of this race was disappointing. He had done too much racing in too shorter time. The results were getting worse the more races he did. It would seem he needed to rest/recover between races properly. I am no expert but after reading Blair's race report on Sunday that story bounced back into my head. I really felt for Blair and I am sure he will bounce back even stronger.
So how often can you race without it affecting your results ? I know I cant achieve the adrenaline hit before a race or create the atmosphere during training runs and I cant run as fast as race days. I know we would all like to enter every race out there but to achieve PB's in every one I doubt we could.
Anyway tonight 20+k easy.
Take care

Yeah, the whole racing/training thing is a fine line. Though I must admit a few years ago I was doing lots of racing (every fortnight at least, though not always flat out) and I was posting PBs left, right and centre.
