I was thinking exactly this, I don't know a great deal about training for a fast 5k bit I'm fairly sure his training plan isn't it. No wonder he can't hit his goal!Do we think he's doing an autumn mara that he's kept quiet about?
People have suggested he may be training to pace Kelly but I don't think he'd bother training for a slow one.
I am sure at one point they said they were thinking about doing valencia again? They probably feel they need another foreign trip to somewhere milder while the kids have had to make do with a long weekend at Bluestone for their entire holiday this year.
ETA - and during that Bluestone trip Kelly did at least one longish run, plus probably some more junk miles.
