Summary of lecture:

“Distance Runners hate sprinting because they think they look like fools, but if you want to be fast, you’ve got to sprint.  ….  So every week, fifty-two weeks a year runners should be doing something about their speed, conditioning for it, working on technique, and generally working on their speed.”

Sunday the 23rd-  55 minutes of MMF  over 3.78 miles in 1:08

Monday the 24th- 5 miles on cinders in 1:03.  Progressive!   Final 4 in 47:23

Wednesday the 27th- Fast speed segments of 120 yards x 10 on grass at FSML. Coverage 3plus miles.  Legs felt very good.

Thursday the 28th-  1 hour on the shady grass at the senior center with 10 good speed segments.

Saturday the 29th-  3.5 miles at the cinders. Final four hundred in  2:00. Legs feeling a little heavy after 12 workouts in 15 days.
