Cheers JD -or should that be Grouse - I'll be fine - it's just that (and I was going to mention this last week) I seem to have to work at my long runs and really envy everyone planning / carrying out the longer races/training runs.

2 years ago I was running well, almost effortlessly. I remember 1 glorious 4 hr run where I had the great feeling of thinking I could run all day. I only curtailed the run because I had to be home to do other things.
Now after 2:45 hrs it tends to become a real slog.

All I want to do is recapture that form.
