After experiencing a headache last night that just got
worse and worse, I've had to take the day off work today.
I normally do a 10km run on Thursday mornings which is
usually just a slow recovery jog. Of course that didn't
happen and my recent mileage has really taken a bit of a
dive. I don't want to become a slave to the numbers (km's)
but it is something you keep looking at and i suppose it
does sometimes keep you going. I have stepped up my kms
in recent months so having a easier one is quite probably
a good thing. I know that soon i will again start to really
target my training for the 800m while continuing to do my
long runs on the weekend. I imagine that i will still do
one long run of 20k+, probably 2 x 10km medium runs. The
rest of my training will be more sprint and interval run
based. Currently my favourite distance is the 200m and i
feel good about it because i can almost go the whole trip
flat out which i couldn't do 12 months ago. Now i need to
work on my top speed so i can bring my sprint times down.
The challenge for me will be to get the balance of speed and
distance right and to manage to fit it in to my awkward time
frame. Watch this space!

I've just come off a period of headaches, had four days off work because of them. Do you have any inclination as to what causes yours. I'm in the process of recording my diet on a daily basis (doc's suggestion) might be diet related. I'll probably post an entry in relation to this in due time.
