Hey Brian,
I probably misunderstood your program. I see that you're mainly a 400
hurdler. (Too much info, too little time to absorb everything.)
And by the look of those numbers in your workout schedule . . . man,
you'll never run a good 800. You need to lose some muscle! <g>
Keep up the experimentation.
Regards,
