Running Faster Under The Influence

Walking back in the rain at 3.30AM in the morning from town after Tracey's 30th birthday bash I started to feel very cold!
So I started to run the last mile home, my form didn't feel very good,but then I had an idea!
Many musicians, artists and great thinkers have produced their but ideas-work under the influence of drugs or alcohol[not that I'm suggesting you follow suite] I'd been watching this video earlier in the day and it dawned on me that I was landing to far in front of my center of gravity .

I started to concentrate on landing closer and closer to my COG by activating my gluts using the CUE of imagining that I was landing behind my body, my speed picked up faster and faster.
I was flying!
It really works!
Try it!
To slow down simply start landing more in front of your COG and feel the braking forces!

Lydiard Training
I have now completed 10 weeks of base training.
Things have not gone as well as expected due to what I believe is Adrenal burnout, most probably brought about by a poor diet inc few if any vegetables, too much alcohol as well as a lot of stress due to my divorce!
I'll be working with Gary Mollar to rectify my nutrition in the coming weeks [see post below]
Hopefully i can return from the dead to start 2012 in better shape!
I've decided to return to Marius Bakken's training plan for London 2012, with the aim of sub 2.45.
No matter how far this dream seems at the moment with good health I truly believe I can trounce that time good and proper!
