Earlier this week I got some papers from my Coach. Did I mention already that I have a coach now. I guess I didn’t, about him another time. Anyway, he’s a bit older and he still works with papers. He gave me a lot of stuff on paper up to now, but the latest stack had some “special” material, the “attiude of the competitive runner”. I found it to be a great write up, don’t know who actually wrote it or when it was written, hence didn’t ask for publishing rights in advance. The only hints the paper provides are: female, probably living in the Lahti area (about 100km north of Helsinki), really good on the 3000m, current or past district champion on that distance and aiming for the 2012 Olympics. In case you read this and find yourself in it, let us know (comment below or through an email, see the contact page). Read the rest of this entry »
