So, on a "Whatever Day" & unbeknown to anyone (i.e. Ewen!), - I simply couldn't let that hang over me until next time - I was back at "the strip" (in East Bowral) again this morning at 7:30a.m. & did the whole program again!
Program: Warm-up Jog 1500m.; stretches; 4x60-80m strides.
This morning's result : 1500m in 9:05

I could be in trouble for such 'disobedience', but if so, it'll be worth it to have proven to myself that I could do better than yesterday!
....and I got nearer to what I wanted!
You remind me of an athlete I advised a few years back.
ReplyDeleteTurned out he did everything I told him.
Also turned out he did his own training as well, consisting of runs of 30 and 40kms several times a week.
You can tell a long distance runner, but you cannot tell him much.
...oops, I don't mean you remind me, I mean your words remind me.
ReplyDeleteMy old headmaster, Mr Potter, had a good cure for that: 6 cuts of the cane ;)
ReplyDeleteSpeedygeoff, I don't remember any runners you coached being that disobedient!
