Just a quick post to mention that a few videos of the recent World 24 hour Championships can be found here.
There are also a few race reports that I enjoyed reading - Dan Rose, Scott Jurek and GB crew member Fiona Rennie. Don't forget that my report can be read here.
There are also a couple of newspaper articles in the Bradford Telegraph & Argus and the Wharfedale & Airedale Observer.
Then there's this one from last month which I've just come across in the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Post Brive I began running again on Thursday 20 May with a five miler and since then I've been out on Saturday (6 miles), yesterday (7 miles) and plan to run again tomorrow (8 miles) and Friday (9 miles) and after that - well it depends on my left hamstring. It seems to ache a bit at the moment, only when running though and it does improve slightly as the run progresses.
I expect to have a proper training schedule in place before the weekend though. I feel I need to do well in Perth to put the recent bad run behind well and truly behind me. It's a bit strange still though in some ways because only two years ago I would have been well pleased with 222 km.

Good run in bad weather
Very cold here at the moment with lots of ice about (and a bit of snow too). Ran over 11 miles this morning at about 8 minutes per mile ... very pleasing in the conditions. It's not easy running with cars skidding past.
As usual I had, on my hands, two pairs of thermal gloves and an old pair of socks. They were still cold for the first 3 or 4 miles though.
Remember my post last week about recovery ? Well Scott Jurek has an excellent post on his blog about that very subject.
Still undecided about the Hull 24 hr race this year. I've won it for the last two years and it would be good to defend my title BUT I think it's a bit close to the Commonwealth Championships and as the latter is this year's priority I need to make sure I'm properly recovered.
I've just read a good article in last weeks Athletics Weekly magazine about Chris Finhill. There seems to have been quite a bit of ultra running coverage recently in that mag ... about time too.
