An exchange between Gustav V of Sweden and Jim Thorpe at the 1912 Olympics
Gustav- ” You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world.”
Thorpe- “Thanks, King.”

Another perfect, late night at the cinder track was the prime opportunity for a speed workout. (79* and calm) I began with my newest version of a 2-mile warm up with numerous pickups and walking along the way. After that I ran 2 miles in 22 minutes. I usedt)he format of running for 30 seconds which involved about 75 to 80 quick strides followed by walking for 30 seconds. The two miles went by very quickly with this format, and I felt like I increased the speed of the segments as the workout progressed. I finished with no aerobic or muscular distress. It was a very positive of workout. 4 miles
