Gulf Bank Kuwait City Half Marathon - 4th place I think, LOL!

40min easy...with the Kuwait Morning Milers!

60min easy...in Kuwait! 🇰🇼

30min easy..recovered, I hope!

60min easy..cut and walked in injured

Been pushing the envelope too much and paid the price. Can't keep jumping into sessions with high quality, high volume marathon runners as well as trying to lengthen my midweek jogs a bit and expect to get through without injury. Been managing my knee for a few days and today it just went. Tried to continue but just wasn't possible. Lots of rehab ahead. Bit of a shame as I wanted to give Telford a good, hard effort but maybe a blessing in disguise as ultimately it would have been another very underwhelming race performance.

Glucose was ok. I had an extra large haddock and chips late last night which was essentially a huge plate of carbs followed by a load more of that Waitrose cake, such dumb food choices. So tired so kept sleeping through the alarms and eventually acted when at 16.9mmol around 4am. Was reluctant to inject too heavy as had planned to do an hour plus strides so just injected 6u NovoRapid. Woke up properly at 11.2mmol. Injected 1u NovoRapid before getting out on this and did drop hard throughout. Was at 5.5mmol by the time I was limping home.
