I had my fastest training walk on Sunday since before the Cowtown 50K in February.  I have that spring back in my step. I have a good feeling about my race in Great Britain. I know that no hundred mile race is ever going to feel easy. However after my last two I would except an easier feeling hundred mile race.

I did something I never do this week. I took an unscheduled day off. Right now I am stuck between my recovery and my next Centurion training session. I felt tired and unfocused. So I pushed the reset button. Just a simple day off and now I am ready to prepare for the British Centurion Qualifier.

Slowly building my mileage back up. I have 16 weeks between my Australian Centurion qualifier and The British Centurion qualifier. I am counting the weeks it takes till I feel fully recovered. It has only been three weeks and no surprise I have not yet recovered. I am feeling stronger each week. I think 16 weeks will be more than enough time between 100 mile races. There have been many Dutch, Belgian and English racers qualify at both European qualifiers in the same year. May to August. An average of 12 weeks between races.  All this matters because I signed up this week for the Inaugural African Centurion Qualifier on October 22nd. This race is 11 weeks after my British Qualifier. Can I fully recover and race another 100 miles with 11 weeks recovery? That is what I am going to try and find out.
