Today a TV crew came out to my workplace! So, my workout was Bootcamp, rather than running. I'd planned to run afterward, assuming that it would be a typical hour-long Bootcamp. But little did I know that it would go on for an intense 2 1/4 hours just because of the cameras. So, I resisted the urge to overtrain, and instead, stretched and had some breakfast. Here's the footage of the Bootcamp. I'm the one wearing a burgundy tank top and khaki shorts; apparently I'm not very interesting since I'm always just in the background! :-)

cool video! You are a movie star!

I have two of Lydiard's books (as a follow-up to your blog conversation of yesterday which I decided not to specifically respond to ...), they are good reads. Did you read the Running Times articles last month on Lydiard? Lorriane Moller wrote a great article and Greg also has written some things about Lydiard and his training (Greg traveled with Lydiard in the months before he died). Greg and Nobby (Nobby coached a Japanese corporate team with Lydiard) both wrote a response to a reader that had some questions about the apparent conflicts in interpretations about what types of workouts Lydiard prescribed during base training. It is a good read too (I think ;-))
