You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: beenthere Subject: RE: My coach doesn't believe in thresholds and has us do only interval work. Is this normal for college? Body:
That's what someone suggested to me way back in Janurary. I've been eating red meat almost every day and a lot of spinach too ever since and nothing has changed. If anything I've gotten slower... I never feel good on runs like I did in high school, even though I'm not running any more mileage than I was then. Maybe I don't run well off of nothing but hard interval work? Is that normal? Do most runners run their best by doing hard interval work year-round? Or is this not very typical?[/quote] Get tested but I'm willing to be you any money that anemia isn't the cause. Id be interested to see though. I've heard similar stories like yours, only to see athletes get tested and find out there isn't anything wrong and their levels are normal. Then every coach who considers themselves to be a "physiologist" will tell you something about how normal levels are bad for a runner blah blah blah and how they need to be high to be considered normal.
