so get your base fitness back before appraoching them. if you event is middle distance build up to about 30 miles a week, do fartlek instead of proper speedwork, don't expect too much too soon. if your injury is completely recovered, at your age you can look at being as fit as you used to be within about 6-8 months, so in time for next summer. use this winter well, remember you've got time on your side

hi, when i was a junior i was quite good but after my 1st year of uni i got a bit sidetracked, i was always running like 2-3 times a week at least, but i had other things to do.

then 2 years ago i decided to compete again, and i started training alone. i. too, felt embarassed about going back to my old coaches coz i didn't make much contact with them since, and have run in their club race unattached. i would still like to go back to the club some 6-7 years after leaving, but i don't know if i can commit to it, tho i can definitely commit to running.

i run almost daily, but i don't push myself. i just go for long runs and enjoy it, but get frustrated i cannot race the distances i used to do in faster times. so instead i do new events, longer ones and fell running

i would edvise you to get a good level of base fitness back and when you're ready for quality training go back to your coaches. coz it is so hard to do the quality stuff alone, especially at a high level

good luck

it sounds like you have irritable bowel syndrome, or perhaps and intolerance to dairy products. you can get a test done at health food shops

gettin better you should have stood still. it's rare that a dog will actually launch an attack. it was probably scared coz it had got out, and it was not nice to leave it dying there.

i always look for dogs or injured animals on my runs and bring them home, hedgehogs, birds etc. now i have my own dog who can run great distances.

it's like when you hit something when you're driving, you're not going to risk your own life for a pigeon, however being too selfish will result in some serious questions on judgement day.

i would add
running - human and dog team, you get disqualified if your dog bites other competitors.

there would be all the usual events on track up to 1500m, run in the usual way except with dogs on flexi leads.

there would be an off road 5 k and 10k too.

dogs would be tested for performance enhancing drugs.


also what about that dog dancing they have at crufts? jk!
