why have u gone from Km’s to miles?
Cold hey - might need a De-load wk? Get into the good food and vitamins.

Is Mark Guthrie going to be training you in Madison, or will you be with a different group? If you’re with Guthrie, I’m assuming you’ll have Andrew Rock to work with in practice.

I have gone to miles because that is how the rest of the team keeps track of volume as well as thats what everyone here in the states does. Yea I have been trying to eat healthy, I think the reason I was sick was the relatively unsanitary conditions in my dorm room… but I have been eating my fruits and veggies :slight_smile:

I probably won’t be training with Coach Guthrie but I will be training with Coach Byrne who is a very established distance coach, I’m 100% commited to the 800m at this point.
