The Unconventional Running Coach

Now I don't think there is a superfood out there but if I was to pick something to categorise as a superfood it would be liver. Liver has so many nutrients it is off the charts compared to most other foods out there. Even mainstream media sings the praises of Liver . There are lots of great resources out there but I have been known to neglect liver and honestly I felt worse for it. Evolutionary speaking should we eat it everyday or even every week? Probably not but I am going to make sure I get some liver every month and might look into the capsules again. Are they necessary? No, but then neither is running 70 miles a week whilst doing a full time job, looking after a child, a dog and all the other things we do so a little extra everyday with the real thing once a month probably won't be a bad thing. 

Well this was a bit more of a step forward and is the performance I was looking for, ideally 9 seconds quicker would have been perfect but I still can't quite believe the streak I am on at the moment. This is a run I was really happy with. I set off at a solid pace and let the other 3 out front go off into the distance. Chris dropped slightly off the back of the other 2 and I had reeled him in by about 1.5k. By 5k I caught and passed Fin and Stuart but I know they are class runners and Fin was just using us to shelter from the wind.  I pushed hard after the turn around point, as per my visualisations, and knew Chris couldn't stick with the pace. Until last week I hadn't really beaten Chris when we were both trying and last week I ran the kick out of him and this week dropped him completely. At about 3k Fin kicked for home and I knew I couldn't go with him. I stuck with Stuart until 4.5k and then fought to stay as close to him as I could. It is actually the fastest he ha...
