Short intervals with many repetitions are brutal in their own way. The total distance doesn’t amount to much but the effort put in each repetition takes you right out of any comfort zone.
If you’re not panting, you’re not working.
And so it went today with Suryansh and Nikhil with Coach Ravi at the whistle. Round after round, two repetitions each round. It was head down and hard going. I tried to concentrate on my form which I was sure was flailing compared to the elegance Suryansh exhibited.
As always, the fact that I have the chance to train alongside these young kids is a true privilege and has been a turning point in my amateur running life.
