Printemps at last
Thanks for the report, SW, I enjoyed it.

Personally, I was quite pleased with your time as it was slower than my previous 3 10Ks. Hurrah!

As for getting faster, I'd not think about it till you're fully recovered from your illness, breathing properly, and have a few dozen miles back in the legs. If you're still after an improvement then, well I guess the usual old stuff comes into play: you get faster by running faster, and all that. As you'll well know, the classic formula is one tempo, speed and long run each week, plus the odd bit of cross training.

Hal Higdon has a book, "Masters Running" that I keep meaning to get hold of. Aimed at, shall we say, the more... mature athlete. I suspect it'll have some good advice and ideas for maintaining or improving speed as the years gradually accumulate.

What's next race-wise?
