Good luck! Given what I've seen here, you've got the endurance and speed to make a really good showing.

~ no running today, i think I might have tweaked my left knee a little yesterday.
it felt alright during jump rope though. I did however swop double unders, for just very fast run in place skips.
Hope the knee is all good by tomorrow, especially the weekend, since I've got a Half Marathon on Sunday.

~ pump sesh...

Front squats felt rather sucky...struggled to get a comfortable front rack and the left knee was not quite 100% yet.
Made sure that I always went below parallel, but couldn't quite go all the way ATG though.
Still, all in all a decent session.

ReMax Knysna Heads Half marathon(21.1KM)
- 02:20:55

route video

~ first time doing a 21.1km race.
The "demons" crept in fairly soon during the first 5km, but managed to ignore them and pushed on.
Round about 13km in, the soles of my feet and my shins we starting to complain too, but we pushed on.
Even managed to pick up the pace that last kilometer. So it was actually just all in my head it seems. Either way, it went pretty good. The event was well organized,
the routes were clearly marked and they had numerous water points, which helped a lot, in not making the race feel so long.

~ leg day...
finally cracked the egg on deadlifts though.
My knees weren't feeling too great, still manageable during the back squats, thus why I lowered the weight a little.
And I opted to rather not do pistols or splits squats today, and just did some stuff on the machines.
Reckon I ought to be able to go for a run again tomorrow. We shall see.
