Great list G-man - much excellent material in there. I'm a little embarrassed that there's no Led Zep on mine, although
Kashmir nearly did make it. Cloudbusting is also one of my fave running tracks. Of course these lists are always extremely personal and I guess mine reflects both my vintage and my eclecticism. Suffice to say, if I had to choose 15 great tracks to finish off a major race with, they would be them. It's all good fun and of course, very much subject to change.
Thanks too for the training advice - training is now well under way and I am treading carefully, but I have to say that with the right orthotics now finely tuned and properly "gotten used to", I am suffering from niggles and injuries far, far less than before. If I've done one thing right in my running to date, it's tracking down the right running-aware podiatrist and getting the orthotics just right. It really has made a massive difference and I no longer suffer from the shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or the ITB and achilles strains that dogged me in the past.
Life is still very bloody hectic here, but I am forcing the issue with regards to training now, and it's now coming together. Gently, gently for the moment, but I am running again, and boy, it feels bloody fantastic!
Am really looking forward to the coming months, especially now the (record breaking) hot summer weather is mostly behind us here (touch wood). A nice mix of long slowies, intervals and hill climbs coming up. First stop is a hilly 10km in April, so plenty of time to prepare for that one.
More news at ten.
Point to Pinnacle - it begins!
