Nick Willis wins in New York

Nick Willis has again shown his class this week by taking out the Fifth Avenue Mile in New York the week. It caps off a great season for Willis who took the Bronze medal at Beijing last month.



Click here for an interview with Nick where he sheds some light on his recent success and future aspirations. Thanks to Peter Gambaccini of Runnersworld.com for the interview.

As for my training , I don't want to say too much right now other than that I have started to take some slow baby steps. I'm not going to talk (blog) too much about my running until I'm happy that I have something positive to report.

Keep running.

The pace someone of Nick's level can run is blistering!

Good for him in winning again.

Good for you on the running training! Weather is certainly good for it.

I guess you are taking it slow to avoid the shin splints problem coming back?

A great performance for sure. He is having quite a year.

As for your running, even baby steps are progress. Do what you can and accept that it's going to take a long time to get back. I'm going through the same thing. Starting over stinks, but it is still better than the alternative.

Nick Willis is absolutely amazing. I have been tracking his progress and it always amazes me.

I'm a Willis fan (but don't tell any New Zealanders that). The flotrack interview with him outside the Birdsnest was a good one.

Well done to the Warriors. We might wait and see if they make the grand final - my beer fridge is struggling a bit right now.

Thanks for the link to the video of the race. I wish I could run that fast.

Baby steps are good!
