A few short runs in the bag, plenty of time in the pool (but still a lousy swimmer) and 23 weeks to Canberra. So now the work starts in earnest.
Doing 25ks per week is not a lot, however, the knee needed a bit of build up. The physio also prepared a new program for the gym and that has done wonders to make the knee more stable.
The next eight weeks will be base building by which time I should get to about 50 - 60ks with the longest run about 25ks.
Then eight weeks of intensity training reaching about 70ks in February with the longest run about 35ks.
All I need now is the WAMC program to figure out which races I can use as tempo runs. Certainly the Darlington Half looks like a good opportunity to test the waters.
Now I just have to keep the motivation going!
Tomorrow morning, strength training at the gym.

Great to see the progress!
Might try to get to Deepwater run on Sunday to say hello - will need to make it part of a longer training run, but thats OK
