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 
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.

How have you found the transition from sprinting to middle distance? I’ve come from a sprinting background myself.
Well hitting up the mileage isn’t too bad but I’m coming from a very high general fitness capacity so I think that helps. The part that has been killing me are workout that are what most people would refer to as “intensive tempo” with very short recoveries
What sort of recovs are you refering to? 30sec? 60sec? 90sec? That kind of thing?
