Just a quick message to thank you for the
speed sessions this week. With the heat and humidity that we
have experienced over the last few weeks, speed work is
definitely tough.
In my case where I was recently not able to
do any form of exercise for a three week period in order to
allow a skin graft to recover, I certainly feel the loss of
fitness, and experience the toughness of the sessions.
At both of the sessions this week I have
been the last person to finish the last "lap". On both
occasions the group support over the last 100m or so was
tremendous and enabled me to put on a bit of a spurt.
I would particularly like to thank the
person today who ran the last 150m or so with me (obviously
after he had finished his session) - I cannot remember his
name but thanks a great deal.
Thanks also to yourself for running the
last 100m or so. It really does make a difference to the
motivation (and eventually performance) when there is such
support given by members of the running group.
Hopefully I will improve my speed and I
look forward to being able to support other runners as they
have supported me this week.
