==March 2012==
In March I was looking to find the sweet spot of optimal training. I suspect I tend to train more than is optimal, so I'm trying to back off to the point where things are improving more. It's tricky to work out when the impact of training stress lasts for well over a month. I've had a few nagging Achilles/calf issues, but nothing major.

==February 2012==
February has seen me building back after my brief bout of [[Overtraining Syndrome]]. I've returned to running four days per week, which is helped enormously. My mood state has improved dramatically, and a number of friends have commented on the change. My experiment with running more frequently has given me some useful insight into the effects of [[Training Monotony]] and [[Overtraining Syndrome]], as well as understanding how my body reacts to different training loads and regimes.
