6 weeks / 42 days / 1004 hours (assuming the time difference). However you say it, it's not very long at all now to the start. Training, I'm afraid has gone right down the pan on the physical side. I'm not sure how the shin splints are getting on as for the past week I've been laid low with pharyngitis.I've had some advice on self physio for the shins so with that and the forced rest I reckon they should be good enough to recommence in a couple of days. Any twinge after that and it's on to the rowing machine and cross trainer.So with all that going on it's a good job that, mentally, I'm still well up for it and can still visualise how I will approach various aspects of the race - hills, shale, dunes, etc.
So 6 weeks to the race itself but a mere 10 days to the recce stage. 2 full days training in the Marrakech area, which should give us a flavour for the general environment and running surfaces if not the heat itself. On that score Adrian the student has been in touch to find out when we need to use the chamber so it's good news that that is still on.
Short update today as it's almost time to settle back into the sofa for the footy. Come on you Reds!
