all good, will probably race on Saturday but decide on the day.
Here is a TV news clip about a programme we deliver at the local prison

oldbloke,
not a single thing there I can argue with. While much of the discussion was about Lydiard I would in no way call what I am proposing (and was doing late last year) a Lydiard programme. I would say it is much more CF with elements of KK. For example I may do KK’s 6 week GPP programme in October or some other parts of his plan but change them a bit for example he has a session that is
Sprints ladder 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 60, 50, 40, 30 - slow walkback recoveries.
I may well do a Hill session on a Monday that is
40 sec, 35 sec, 30 sec, 25 sec, 20 sec, 15 sec, 10 sec, 5 sec all with slow walkback recovery.
Now I would expect that will not be before say June as that is a pretty tough session but I’m certainly not discounting it.
6 days pw is something I’m putting out there rather than locking in and may well not happen, certainly I won’t start with that. 5 Days (Hi, low, med, rest, Hi, low, rest) is standard for me, works fine and has adaptability.
Bold,
that is probably what I will go with, as I said the other hasn’t worked the past couple of years.
Now, the enjoying training more than racing is an interesting discussion (well to me anyway :p)
Firstly I love training when I can do what I want to do. One of the reasons is that I have no expectations of performance. I can enjoy it for what it is and as I have said elsewhere training is an extremely creative time for me. I often have great ideas or find solutions in my recovery periods in sessions so there is a mental as well as physical attraction to them.
It isn’t so much that I don’t enjoy racing, I am uber competitive, it is more that it frustrates the hell out of me. I have modest expectations and sadly I am not even close to those. NOW if I were meeting those, or even progressing well on the way to them, I have no doubt my enjoyment of racing would go through the roof. That is why I have got to where I am now that I have no expectation when I race, it is what it is, to cope mentally I view it as a training session with increased social contact and the times are really inconsequential.
Another important point though that keeps me racing is that I actually believe I can run a hell of a lot better. The stubborn part of me (and that is pretty big :)) wants to prove I can go
100m < 13.5
200m < 28
400m < 60
I don’t think these are unrealistic!
