You may even find it of...

Thanks for the help! I've actually found a coach down crystal palace now who I will be training with on the weekend, hopefully he will have links with coaches up lee valley for the weekday.

overall it looks pretty good to me...

with your hips, there are always hurdle walks to help condition that area. Technically, you could cue "lift" with regards to your hips?

with your knee...

your head seems to pop up quite quickly during your transition so this could make you jolt up a bit, slowing you down. Also your arm action seems cut short, more so when your into your running...

Does anyone know of any good coaches down lee valley, London who will take on athletes this winter?

Hills: 10x10m, 10x 20m, 2x30m

3x 5 reps clean 60kg

3x10 bench 50 55 60kg

ok thanks number two ! if just say you couldnt get hold of those two things, and an outdoor track was all you could really work with, would you say a long, correct warm up would be sufficient enough...

I'm looking to try a short to long training program this year however im not sure if it i possible without indoor facilities or warm weather.

I live in the UK so during winter time it get very...

Hi Guys,

Basically for the past couple years I have had problems with my shin angles during the first 20m coming out of my blocks.
