3rd OVERALL AT HAIGH HALL RACE SERIES

HAIGH HALL FINAL
Finishing 3rd overall in the race series I felt depressed and dejected after blowing my good form, built up with months of Arthur Lydiard base training in the winter with to much interval training, I could hear Arthur Lydiards words ringing in my ears" to much anaerobic work will drag your aerobic fitness down and lead to over training"
I have not been enjoying my racing of late, always feeling tired and burned out!
Expect to see a return to the Masters teachings [ I just bought 2 of his books;'Distance training for masters' and 'Running with Lydiard'] as I start to train for next years LONDON MARATHON!
