I have just completed my much needed 21 day end of season break.  Conveniently situated after the 6 day race to allow for a good rest after this extraordinary event.  I do cross training during my break and in fact reviewed some elements of this, but no running is allowed!  This time the break coincided with our busiest time of the year in our mail order business so rest was rather hard to find.

My recovery from Monaco has been pretty good and I’m keen to start running again and gradually build up my training ready for my first competition at the end of March.
