It's great to be a part of history, and on my third Berlin outing this race has provided that in threes.
- A new men's world record was set.
- Haile Gebrselassie and Paula Radcliffe, the men's and women's world record holders were both there.
- I set a new PB, and for the first time I broke the 3:20:00 barrier.
I won't go too much into my training for Berlin as all of it is published on my dailymile page. What I'd like to mention is that in my hardest training weeks, I managed to log 30 consecutive training days, averaging over 90 km a week in that month. I've never done that sort of volume and frequency before and I was quite surprised to get through that without feeling the least bit tired, injured or sick. Though I have to put that down to being extra careful, eating healthy and getting plenty of sleep.
