Three half-mile repeats on the track at 5-K race pace with a short recovery jog in between shouldn't scare anyone away-and it will improve your speed.
Again, racing for me was about energy management.
My goal has always been to slow down as slowly as possible. It's as simple as that.
Right now, after having had back surgery, I am finally back to running again.
You don't run 26 miles at five minutes a mile on good looks and a secret recipe.
So, in a way I was hedging and saying that if the Olympic stuff doesn't work out at least I can be a lawyer.
