Last day - a bit of a wreck, but I loved it
... What we did today: Started the day with a chat from Liz about how to train like an Olympic athlete. Good tips such as, target certain races, create an individual race plan and make sure all other races are helping you step forwards towards your 'A' goal. Also, have a day of complete rest each week as recovery is key to adaptation and performance. Morning session was Threshold training, on the flat. 3 min's running just ...

Day 2
... existed, and I was left totally humbled by collapsing on the floor with a grunt, whilst others kept their Pelvis tucked in, back straight and limbs at right angles: 1 hour strenuous workout. I couldn't maintain enough concentration to take in what she said about how core strength improves running times, but it sounded convincing. Early evening: 3.7 miles recovery run. Undulating track. Time: 34:28; Pace: 9:17; heart rate effort: 68%; Calories spent: 502; altitude 1,200 Meters. ...
