In the last few weeks I have been concentrating on my running in the hope of doing the Malta Marthon at the end of February. Most, if not all of my runs so far have been just steady long runs, with the exception of the Zurrieq Half Marathon which I did in 1hr 24mins. The race started quite fast with an Italian running and Jason Martin (Mellieha) setting the pace. I planned to be conservative in the opening kilometers but I was feeling quite good and I tried a faster pace. I went through 5km in 17.58 which was quite good. In the end I finished in 36.25 in 5th place. Training has been going well but I am feeling very light and this thanks to Johanna's Nutrition advice in the last few weeks. It made the difference....... so no more elephant running!!!
Next race on your calendar should be 13th December - Birkirkara St. Joseph 5km Series in Mtafa.
Yours in sport
