I couldn't ask to be better prepared for tomorrow. I've had an uninjured year. During this last block I've found I definitely have increased tolerance of high training mileage. My month at altitude in Ethiopia was unreal.
On top of that, I've had a really good last week in terms of rest (rom running and sleep-wise - I had another snooze this afternoon and plenty of sleep every night this week. And my mental preparation has been good, particularly this last week. I'm there mentally like I was last April (but wasn't in Odense in September strangely). It feels like a chance of a lifetime. In a positive way.
I also feel like I know more where my limits are and that on top of being fitter than last year, I have the potential to find more within me.
We'll just have to see what I can squeeze out.
Oh, and I'm taking my Haile-signed Highgate vest for its one and only outing to add a bit of running stardust to events (above - the cap's not coming, it doesn't look like the weather for it).
