Blo Roll: Jeff Hunt

The New Year always brings new opportunities, and hopefully 2011 is no different. I am currently at Falls Creek, halfway through a four week stint of altitude training, ahead of my return to Japan for the 2011 Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon.
It’s been great training here at Falls, just like every year. With such a large contingent in attendance, it means there is always someone to run with, whether I feel good or bad. The large numbers can make the sessions a little crazy, with so many people in such a small area, but sticking to simple road rules like keeping left, it works itself out.

Since arriving on the 27th December, training has really picked up. I’ve come to realize that training follows stages. You start back up after a break, you struggle for a couple of weeks, and then it gets easier. After a few more weeks, you get stronger before your body starts to feel tired from the routine again.
