Haven't posted in ages , seems like a few here have been going through some injury woes like myself .
Got a dose of COVID-19 in late January/Early February and it took the best part of 4 weeks to get any real energy back ( I was vaccinated) . Was tipping away nicely until the last week of May...
Jimmy , glad to hear your hamstring is on the mend .
Managed to get back out on Tuesday evening and Yesterday evening. Was a bit stiff on Tuesday evening but managed to move a lot better last night . Both were very handy sessions.
Hoping to do a 10/11 miler over the weekend.
Its very frustrating , I was away in my own world at the time and then before you know you are panned out on the footpath . Concentration is the main thing , wet leaves , curbing etc. can all be treacherous in wet and cold weather.

Thanks , I'd say you probably have 8/9km of renaissance paving to run on( wouldn't call it cobbles, but not sure how to accurately describe it.) The rest is tar , even the park which is very smooth.
In general I'd describe Florence as being flat.
Was happy enough with the time , 3:27. Course was pretty flat in general , a couple of short punchy hills that were mainly overpasses/underpasses. The old cobbled and paved streets can be a little hard on the legs as well . In terms of the scenery it was quite enjoyable it started in the Piazza...
I haven't posted in ages but read the thread relatively frequently . I think when establishing a target pace for a marathon or whatever else you are looking at the key is to find a pace that you feel keeps you in a comfortable rhythm. Your moving but your not pelting it because come 32km /33 km...
Richard Boyd Barrett has suggested wealth taxes and severe taxation for those who earn over 70,000 euro.
He suggests a radical redistribution of wealth , were eventually we will all earn the same wage eventually .
What motivation does one have to work hard in Barrettania if we will all get...
