Yeah. We should know this week if they are postponed or cancelled.Originally Posted by Nikoluski
If cancelled, I'm running the Zahariadeia on May 19th (Thessaloniki). If they are postponed, there's a chance the Zahariadeia will be postponed (or cancelled)and the clubs' meeting will take place in their place...

Yep !! Before that, I decided to run an 800 on May 19th (Thessaloniki), and then a 400m the following week (Thessaloniki again)

evening:
30min progressive (start @4:20, final: 4:02, 3:59, 3:47, 3:38, last 500- 1:33). I'd say faster than normal.. it must be the climate here
Friday, May 11th
noon: (windyy)
3x100, 3x80,3x60 (not timed, but I did not exaggerate on these, because I'm still scared)
400m (@59.48”) (satisfied with this!) > splits 28+31

Hi Stef. How have you been doing lately?
Sorry ! I'll post again after I succeed in running my first race !!! (This coming Saturday)

I'll be back here soon.
Good luck.
