No. You asked.
8-9 miles on the treadmill
Long warmup: 2X6X100m stride-throughs (like Bolt) plus starts
5X60m @100% from blocks with 15 min (maximum speed workout)
stride-throughs for cooldown (also like Bolt)
Adam Gemili is a wimp!!!

I think yes.

it was also mentioned in a competitor article a few weeks ago where he said he would have to run on christmas. i got the impression he thought it was a big deal and something he hadnt done before
Christmas Mile Repeats! Yay!
