Thanks Gavin, I'm holding the faith and can certainly feel that the program is working. As we get on in life we just need to recognize that things take a little longer, this includes fitness, running improvement and probably most importantly, recovery. As once competitive runners we know the kudos that we recieved when at the top of our game, our egos were stroked by both others and ourselves as we continued to strive to improve. As healthy old men we occaisionally tend to forget these things and live in the mind of our younger self, until we are challenged by a session that brings home the reality of our state and age. This is the new challenge that makes this program so exciting. Beating not just that goal of time, but beating the age barrier while doing it.
Monday I ran 10K in a fairly mediocre 1:10'08 at 134 ave BPM. Felt a bit guilty at having not gone further as Im now averaging 12K on these sessions. Lets see what the rest of the week holds.
