Demonstration warm-up showing pace, cadence, stride length and heart rate at start, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 2000m, 3000m. This corresponds with Chapter 8 - Going For a Run.
Feel the firm support that a well-balanced landing gives you and relax. The speed builds naturally. kdpbook.link/for/B0DN4K1T...

Still progressing well towards the 70+ records targets. At the track last night:
2 x 400m, 3 x 1km, 2 x400m (60)
88, 86, 3:43, 3:40, 3:36, 82, 79 another solid session. Scar tissue around the ankle still restricting movement.
Shoes still performing well and no wear on the soles :-)

Managed to grab six State and one Australian record in my current age group - I was hoping for more but with only five months left I'm having to now look at the 70+ age group. Still not lowering my standards though! Looking for best-possible times regardless of what's on paper :-)

No - the last 10,000km have gone well ...

14 years ago today and still hanging in there - with the 3,000m and 10,000m - lost the mile and possibly the 1500m but that's okay - records are there to break :-)

Wow! 10 years ago today since the first edition. Now up to Fourth edition in English, French and soon in Spanish with videos and audiobooks in progress. So many thanks for 10 years of interaction with the readers on the Facebook Readers Group helping us to refine the text.

Thanks for the videoing Stuart Greaves - as I get older, the more I love running without shoes :-)
