@BritAthletics Was this on bbc this morning? Just got back from my long run to watch and can’t find it anywhere!!!

For interval training:

Most people go too hard on interval #1 and then aren't able to go hard enough on interval #6.

If you are slowing down dramatically during interval training, you are practicing falling apart.

For most, that should not be the goal.

Learn how to pace.

@BritAthletics Great cross country races all morning!!

[Pete Williams @petecw]

A great story!

[TIME ON FEET RUNNING 🕰👣 @LydiardsWay]

A Lydiard Short Story

Once upon a time there was a runner called P. P was very good. She ran very fast in training and everyone liked her for it. P was getting better and even winning races.
P trained even harder and faster in order to improve. In the early weeks this worked.

A coach can only do so much to help an athlete improve. Ultimately, the success of an athlete comes down to their inner drive. Once they become intrinsically motivated, they can get the most out of their coach and reach their full potential.

@nikelondon loyalty not something you’re interested in? I’ve worn Nike since the 80s, I’ve 7 pairs of Nike shoes that I rotate for training/races. Just been told I won’t get a birthday discount code this year as I haven’t used my account since Feb! Goodbye Nike hello ASICS!
