My friend Jeremy is a 400m hurdler and I’ve been putting him through his paces for the 2 weeks his been here. Yesterday he had a real ball breaker of a session. We’re talking 450m’s, 300m’s 250m’s and 200m's, with 2 minutes recovery. Lets just say the lactic was flowing.
This is just the begining. He's finished the first run, which was a 450m. Hurting just a bit, mostly out of breath.
Now the lactic is pumping. At this point he's done a 450m, 300m, 250m & 200m. The good news is, he has 6min "rest" before he repeats it all again.
He's trying to get to his feet, but it's really not happening.
O.k, we're on the feet, but barely.
Fast forward to the end of his second set and this is what we're left with. Just a shadow of his former self. He managed to move from this extended fetal position into regular fetal, but thats about all he could manage for at least 10 minutes.
This is just me getting artsy fartsy with my camera.

Peter Cocky, so happy to hear from you. As a result of your comment Jer has decided to rename his endurance workouts "The Dying Swan".
poor guy!!! i feel his pain:(
Its bad feeling like hell lying on a track gasping for air, your legs hurting, your arms hurting, your gums hurting (why does that happen), you want to puke but you don't want to puke, your lying motionless on the ground but want to move or get up but you cant, you can hear voices (kinda like when Frank The Tank takes a dart in the neck in Old School) but its all garbled but you can make out something like "you have 45 seconds" but you aren't sure and don't want to believe it anyway and then you finally stand up but can't see properly out of your right eye and there seems to be something latched onto your left calf until you realised its the lactic and then its toe to the line, shake the arms, crouch and go with Shinks shouting "set it up hard, all balls" for another 25-60 secs of torture so that you can collapse again on the track and go through another 2 minutes of hell. All thats bad enough, then she takes pictures and puts them on her blog, sadist!
