Back at the home of running for my first big Mara sesh of the block and the first one in a while.

7k, 2.5k, 7k, 2.5k, 5k with a short float in between. 24k of work at about 3:11/km. It’s not perfect and it’s not quite marathon pace yet, but it’s a good start.

MANCHESTER HALF 2026

The aim was to average 5-minute miles (3.06/km) and did just that in a slightly unconventional way despite my silliness at the start.

Sub 3-minute k’s weren’t what the doctor ordered just yet, but we’re getting there.

Big thanks @runnervits team for hosting me this weekend. taken in Manchester, United Kingdom by @george.grassly

Let’s call this Week 1/11 of the Valencia block 🇪🇸

First week over 100k in a while, but still a long way to go to get into the shape I want to be in.

Started the week in Egypt and ended it in Ealing!

5 days until @mcrhalf and 10 weeks until @maratonvalencia

Slowly getting there 🤝 by @george.grassly

Nice being back on a start line for the first time in a while.

A little tempo effort, another step in the right direction.

Seeing everyone smashing Berlin today got me excited for Valencia - 10 weeks to go.

Two weeks, two halves

Neither is going to be a full send, just two solid training runs and another step in the right direction.

Excited to finally be back on the start line. Let’s go. 🤝
