Tuesday Trot with The Kanser

A call from Kanser late last night saying he was off work today and was keen for an easy run around the park early morning. Always keen to get out with him even ifs it just to listen to his views, Just a cruisy 10k loop that we do although he's a bugger for wanting to pick the pace up at certain stages of the run. Was running around the 4.30 pace but then about 8ks into it he kicked it down and i reckon we were running closer to 4.10s for the last 2ks.
43.52 all up averaging 4.26s - Hip felt OK although not sure how much faster i could go if needed.
As mentioned its always fun to get out with Kanser as he is never short on giving his forthright views on everyone and what he expects from them and today was no exception to the rule. Poor old Enda is never far out of Dave's range - I wont divulge what his expected time is as i don't want to play with Enda's head (or upset him before the big day)
Many of the boys start to jet out today, with Charlie D, Kanser, and Enda all booked on afternoon flights and i venture out tomorrow evening and sure the rest wont be far behind. Look forward to catching up with everyone on Friday in Berlin.

Today's two Marathon Heads are the Greta Truscott and Rob Costello

Greta - Wife of C.T and the only female on tour, has put the work in and often seen around the park knocking out her long runs each weekend. Maiden Marathon so should be great experience for her and will be sure to have a smile on her face for pretty much the whole 42ks.
Timmy's Tip - Aiming around the 3.15 mark but i predict a few minutes faster and a debut 3.13 is on the cards if all goes well.

Rob 'De Niro, Taxi Man Costello - Probably logged more ks then anyone on the tour even if half f it has been walking. Flying in from Ireland so nobody knows his form although has raced every week for the past year so should be in pretty good shape. Never one to talk himself down and has more front then David Jones.I said the other day that poor Charlie has the unfortunate task of sharing with me as a room mate in Munich........ Well in Berlin Its ME that has drawn the short straw as I've got the honour to share with Mr Costello in Berlin. On the plus side i shouldn't have any problems getting to sleep :)
Timmy's Tip - Unknown the past year, fear he might try to go to hard and pay the price later in the run. Tip is 3.00:16

Cheers
