    Not far out now, has been an interesting few weeks.

    Sam battles through a stress fracture in his shin, he only went for his first run back yesterday but has tried to keep up fitness with roughly 30 hours of cross training (elliptical, bike and aqua jogging) over the last 3 weeks.

    Russ strings together some high mileage and big long runs, though fends off illness and is deciding whether a hit out in the Canberra Marathon 10k this weekend is the best call.

    Sam has officially dropped to the half due to his shin injury (shinjury) and now has sites on a PB in Christchurch in his favourite race.

    Hi all,

    Another solid week of training, 117km for Sam and 105km for Russ.

    Still hot and humid in Wollongong, Sam finished off the week with a big longrun with the Wollongong track club which was 34.5km at 4:15s.

    Things get even bigger this week!
