Running from 2002 to 2006, I acheived my long term goal of a sub 4 min per k paced marathon at Gold Coast, and then broke down with osteitis pubis later that year, which was later traced to a back injury that looks to have ended my road running career. After a change of cities, I got suckered into doing the Kokoda Challenge, and now it would seem I'm turning...to the Dark Side...
5.3k in about 4:22 per km pace doesn't sounds like a lot, but through the hills of Wollstonecraft and Greenwich, it was pretty hard going. Good hit out on a fairly warm day, though, so fairly satisfying.

A broken down road runner in his late 30's Vat is now moving to trail running, and aiming for ultra events. Hopefully he won't keep falling over... PB's:5k-17:27,10k-36:28 HM-1:19:16,M-2:48:04

Good Luck on Sunday, Vat. I hope you are well rested. I'm not convinced that running the Canberra marathon is the ideal cure for burn out after the Six Foot track, but it's a huge effort anyway.
Good luck on Sunday Vat. Hope the run is everything you want it to be. See you in Canberra.
Bemmyr, you're probably right, but the burnout did happen before Six Foot! I'm not planning to flog Canberra - more of a social run/trip away.
Cheers!
