I want to run faster!

Hey Coach,

Just dropping by to let you know I've been running every day and hit all 3 of the main workouts this cycle. Unfortunately due to inclement weather I did both the 2000m and 1000m intervals on a treadmill, so I improvised:

2,000m @ 16km/h with 300m @ 12km/h in between - finished easily
1,000m @ 16km/h with 100m @ 12km/h in between - also finished easily

I managed to get the long run outdoors, and ended up running a hair over 22km, which was longer than I wanted but not really a problem. Oh, the reason I did 16km/h on the treadmill is that is the fastest it goes hahaha.

I will keep hitting the regular workouts and hopefully have a good race next Sunday (the 15th).

By the way, I noticed that the sub 40 minute training schedule changed day 15. It used to be 400m x 10, if I recall, but now it is 3 x 5m at race pace. Is there a reason for this? I always want to work on my foot speed more so like the 400m intervals. Also, as a former track guy, there is an element of nostalgia to it. Anyway just curious.

Hope all is well.
