A frustrating week. I was hoping to be OK after my hamstring strain from last week, but with these things you have to give them the time they need.

I was able to jog on Monday but my hamstring was still abit tight and I was unable to stride out. This was the case for a few days. I was in with my physio Jo, every day.


On Monday, the day after the meeting in Loughborough I woke up and my legs were tight and I was tired. I took caffeine before I raced on Sunday to give me a lift and I couldn't get asleep as a result. So I was tired! But we had a very light training day, just aqua jogging in the pool. The weather was good, so I Monday afternoon was spent on the hammock!


A long week. It started with a serious training session on Tuesday morning, 2 race pace runs over 350 metres and 250 metres. Full recovery between the runs, so it's all about quality. Because it's a big session I was a little nervous, but its good because it's the same before a race so its good race preparation, and nerves are a good thing, they show you care about what you do!!


I am delighted to announce that I have agreed a sponsorship deal with Irish owned transactional intelligence company Openet.
