Again I intrude, but I like working with kids
in track and cross country as I loved both.
Damn difficult.
glad you brought this up.

i've been going to the gym, and have started jogging--attempting to work my way up to just jogging, and no walking. right now i usually walk an eighth, and run at LEAST a quarter mile at a time, usually a half mile-then walk another 1/8th...usually go at least three miles to three and a half in that manner. the other day i had a great workout, a ton of running. felt great. the next day i struggled. is that usually how it is? i haven't run track in years, so i don't have a coach to help me out...

any hints would be appreciated.
