*20 min easy running.
*10x 45 sec at pulse 170 with 15 sec standstill recovery (on road).
*10 - 15 min rest.
*9x 45 sec fast with 1:15 standstill recovery.
*30 min easy running.
PM
Rest.
*Suddenly I'm running like a runner is supposed to - the technique drills yesterday worked. Euphoric feeling.
*The first 10 45 secs went well.
*The last 9 went even better - quite fast and quite close to 300 m.
*Tired afterwards. Shaking hands, etc.

Purpose
This blog is intended as a medium for me and my friend & coach Glen Grant to keep track on my training. Anyone is welcome to comment.
About Me
End of season block
Focus: To finish the summer with a final spell of hard lactate tolerance & speed endurance work - and racing a couple of track races (and several road races) in order to get at least one decent result on 800 m this summer. So far only 2:02, I want to see a sub 2:00 time before winter begins.

Big breakthrough. Like a different runner. Suddenly there is direction and purpose in the running and a real ability to use all the previous training in a focussed way. What a change (and a relief for the coach!)
:)
It actually feels like all my training so far has only showed itself in better fitness.
Here´s a bad analogy: it has been like having had a lot of jetfuel but nowhere to burn it.
Now I'm suddenly starting to know how to use everything I've worked for so far and it feels like flying after spending almost all my sessions since 1999 crawling.
