Today at training we warmed up by jogging around the track twice, next we did some static stretches for about 10 minutes. Then, for another 10 minutes, we did heel flicks and knees up.

After that we did some striding practice followed by learning how to keep our head down when running and then gradually bring it up in the space of 15 metres. Then Iwan told us to put our running shoes on, spikes, and we done some more stride practice for about 5 minutes.

After that we practiced our strides round the bends, after we had finished that we did four 200 metres sprints with a 6 minute rest inbetween each race. After these races we did a 100 metre race so that Iwan could analyse how much stamina we had and how much pace we still had left in us.

Then we finished up by warming down, we first removed our running shoes and then we slowly jogged around the track in our trainers to decrease the lactic acid in our muscles. I was tired at the end of today’s session but I felt like I had made progress.
