Run warm up/down 24:33 [3] 4.92 km (4:59 / km) +9m 4:57 / km
back to normal warm up distances thank goodness. Matthieu was in charge of making sure coach didn't get carried away with the pace haha.
From the track to Parc Paul Mistral. It's getting dark now by 715.

Run intervals 23:39 [5] 5.2 km (4:33 / km) +9m 4:31 / km
4 x 4 mins
with 1min 50" recovery
first two reps in the park, then the second two on the tow path heading back home.
This is my final target session before Cumbernauld next weekend. I could write a very very very long entry about how much this coach is doing for me and how great his approach to training is. He really values specific sessions, but not too close to the race. so I've been training hard now for a while, and think that easing off volume and intensity next week will do wonders when it comes to race day.
I wish I had met a coach earlier on in my running career like this.
I wish that everything that happened last year could have been avoided :( I suppose it was a learning curve, I just wish that I had had a bit more of a clue and not put all my trust in the other coach in Edinburgh. The French coach won't let me race back to back and if I have raced, I will only do a light session. I remember before Liverpool 2016, instead of 15 x 400m (jog back rec), the taper was 10 x 400m. No wonder I went backwards and the fatigue just soared.
I'm really putting my all into focused sessions here, twice a week, which is plenty. The rest of my running is at a way lower intensity and merely is the filler between the two sessions, not busting a gut, just chilled. I'm really happy that I'm beginning to see improvements again.
I managed to comfortably hit just sub 4min/km (there was one that claimed to be 4.05 but I contentiously object as we went under some trees and the GPS messed up.)
Here's to a bloody brilliant race at Cumbernauld 2k18.
2016 I had just made a come back after the previous coach bust my lower back and I couldn't walk, then 2017 the anaemia was real...
Fingers massively crossed that this year I've got some fire in my belly, some speed in my legs and a smile on my face.
