  Great story. Thanks Andy.When I’m “old as hell”, I still want to be running like this guy (k… maybe not with that exact form or for that kind of distance but still running…).

  Awesome article you posted Andy – I love how he just competes for the enjoyment of it. Very inspiring.
  I did workout A last Thursday with Sarah along the seawall.
  200s – 0:39, 0:40, 0:40 – consistent, but slower than the 200s I did in week one
  400s – 1:32, 1:31, 1:33 – again, consistent, but slower than the 400s I did in week two – I really noticed the short amount of rest.

  Workout B was tonight – along the seawall again.
  1:25, 1:24, 1:24 – having more rest was definitely allowing me to go a bit faster – these times were the same as my fastest 400 in week two

    Oops – I need to read the workouts better…thought it was weird that 400s were listed twice. Messed that one up a bit…4mins, not 400m!

  I did the 2 mile run on Thursday and my times have improved slightly. the first mile was 8:13 and the full 2 miles was 17:04. I have not been able to do the homework as I seem to be developing shin splints

  As soon as my shins feel better I plan on catching up with this homework!

  Workout A – 200m -43s, 42s, 42s
  400m -1.23, 1.19, 1.18.
  Should my 200′s not be marginally quicker ( relative) to my 400′s? Must admit I didn’t have too much of a warm up

  Finished workout B tonight – I’ve been going to a school track near my house. Even after a warmup the first 4 minutes felt laboured but I’m assuming cause it’s after work and my job sucks and I usually feel like I’m in a coma lol also cause it’s dark and blah outside. Anyway, second and third sets felt good and I feel like I’m in a better rhythm by then. Tried to focus on a quicker “pull” and keeping my arms down!!
