At 3am tomorrow morning I’m racing again!
Race 2 in my comeback season from my near career-ending foot injury following the run around Australia.
This wasn’t the plan. It was supposed to be a trail race, the Coastal Crunch 28K last weekend on the Goldy, but with my online work and the opportunity to continue travelling, I took advantage of that, and I’ve now found myself racing a road half marathon in Siquijor, Philippines, alongside 500 other people.
This will be such a fun and epic experience. I genuinely have no idea what I’ll run because I’ve only run easy and steady predominantly, with a just a few tempo runs since coming back. So my plan is to hold a 7RPE for the first 16K, and then see if the body has any kiiiiiiiiiiiiick in the final 5.
It’ll be a long way off my best, but not every race needs to be a PB. This one will be about having as much fun as possible in an international race, coming away injury free and continuing to build back 💪
What a privilege. Can’t wait to rip in again!
Giddy up 🐎
