I tried running with my Aussie mix...she loses interest after a mile

Probably too hot to run with a pup right now tbh though.

Coach moved my vDot saw my paces for my workout this morning changed to 5:13 one on one off x 20. I proceeded with 3 mile warm up 20 @ 4:50ish jogging rest 4 mile cool down. Felt like a million bucks after.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is now that I've basically released myself from another's expectations, I am able to crush a workout using my own standards with out repercussion which feels fricking awesome.

Update: from the coaching saga email...

He wants to talk on the phone now. Today.

Not that it matters, but just so you know where I stand. I would recommend this dude for a lot of beginners or novices. I can't speak to the elites. Good guy; too busy or distracted for the detail in training I require.

I was reflecting this morning during my run, and looking back on it, there were warning signs with ole boy. Not much of an internet presence since last year, his relationship with "believe in the run" didn't seem to last longer than an article or two, his attitude on racing, and then he talked about all these elites that he trains, but I couldn't seem to find them.

I think I might have got taken for a ride. I'm not sure it was intentional as dude seems a little too unstable to realize he might not be as talented as he thinks he is. Plans were pretty vanilla and buddy leans hard on that vDot app...

It made laugh a little out loud while I was cruising along. Lesson learned and I think I got a couple of good stories out of it.
