Thanks Ozbozo. Having run 14 races since my birthday in May (and won 12) I'm ready for a holiday, and Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places in the world to go and recharge.
5K is a tough racing distance as you can easily be lured into running faster than your optimal race pace with painful consequences. So well done.
If you're recovering from injury, don't overdo it. Just get out there and let it flow, sort of natural fartlek, running harder or faster as the spirit moves you, and keep the distance down. Whitlock is in a totally different league!
Cheers!
