Alex Parlane: RT Journal: A brief update

Training has been going well; I have been doing some good base work and long time trials. Most of which has been solo which has given me some well needed mental strength. Some sessions I have really being pushing it too hard and had to ease up. I’m starting to get some personal best times in the few races I have done so far, so I am looking to have some good performances when I start to race outside base training.

As for races coming up my main focus at the moment is the 10,000m NZ Champs in early January, but I will be looking for a good time at the John Walker night of Miles and a good 5000m mid to late December. I am hoping to make it to most, if not all of the classic meets in January and February. From there I will be building into my preparations for world cross, if I can get some funding, which will hopefully include racing at the International Track Meet in Christchurch.

Thanks for reading
