well today christopher did a solo time trial. we wanted to run on a track but i believe they are all locked up. so we ran to yokuts park instead.
if you run the small loop it is 0.8 miles and one bench to the other is 0.2 miles. there is some grass and a slight hill but it a pretty good time trail course (hopefully yokuts will be bhs’s home course next year).
well he ran a solo 5:46 mile, off of zero speed work. he has been following the Lydiard Program only. sure 5:46 isnt going to win any races but it is a start. this summer he barely broke 8 minutes the first couple times he did the distance.
i really think he has a shot at breaking 5 minutes in the mile this year if we follow da plan.
christopher’s next race is the fog run 10 km where i hope he can run sub seven minute pace. a 5:46 mile predicts out to a 41:14 10 km.
