Monte Gordo 09

Well im here, training is going well. Weather is great. This place is a runners heaven.

I left on saturday our flight was at 5pm, met up with flynn and dave fitz in the airport. Yeah the flight its self wasnt too great i got the biggest headache on the plane, had too blow air out my ears and everythin(soo funny) Saturday before i headed to the airport i did an easy 45mins, great weather. Got me ready for whats in store.

Sunday, chill out day, we just got ou bearings and chilled out. There isnt much of a nite life here so its good so we just train away and relax after having coffee chattin, iv met a few deadly athletes here, had coffee with tom carey(400m Hurdles) Sunday morning i got up and headed straight for a 6mile run, it was hard to say the least but im glad i got out.

Monday we decided to change our session days to monday,wed and i mite do something on friday.
I did 20mins on the trails, 8x200m(27-28s) 2min recovery, 20mins on the trails.

It was a nice session, i joined up with Jk and grego for this session, they did some hills sprints after, and headed to the gym for a good weights session while i was on camera action and watchin all the talent on store!

Things are great here, tomoro we move into the apartment which will mean no more eating out, this week im totally cutting carbs out of my diet, so no more chips,bread any of shit. Wednesday Ciara McCallion joins up with us and friday John Sheilds enters the gaf.
