Eilish gave me two strategies over the weekend. Either improve speed through increased mileage or faster interval sessions for short distances. 1500, 3000, 5k.
I liked the second option. I liked the idea of building up from this base point.
And so it was the beginning of this block of training after the Boston Marathon.
The young boy came with me. I had 400s, 300s, 200s – all five times over. The young boy joined me for first, third, fifth. Gaju and another youngster joined in as well.
The usual track folks – Ashwini, Monu, Khushbu and others were doing their thing too. The track was teeming.
After a full, exhausting but hopefully productive session for both of us, we drove back listening to One Direction, One Republic, Post Malone, Prince keeping our music alphabet journey.
It was straight to the bars for me and a circuit workout to earn the overnight oats.
