forgot to add this-
by the way, right now I'm injured, I have a left ankle injury... I am awaiting the results from a bone-scan, I think it may be a stress fracture because I hurt it at the end of June and now were at the end of August...
I haven't run since the end of June, I hurt my ankle during a fast training run and just went into my final race of the season ( it was an out of town meet I had commited to, otherwise I would not have raced) having not run in 8 days cause of the injury and ran a painful 3000m of 9:30 something where realistically I was looking to run in the 8:50's.
put it this way, I had run a 2k time trial the week BEFORE the injury in a relaxed 5:58 with no pacing help, so I believed the 8:50's was realistic.
so here I am wondering about how I will start training again once I get back from injury, who knows when that will be...
as for getting my 400m time <50, well its not that I don't have confidence in myself, but I truly do not expect to ever get much faster than my current PR of 56... I just have a poor leg turnover, or so it seems...
