Note
Today the PTI offered to coach me running on a 1 to 1 basis. I don't know much about his running credentials but he's a serving military PTI who has been a 'top 1500m runner'. He seemed to know his stuff and seemed keen to take on someone on a private basis. Said he'd charge £5 an hour.
I've not had a personal coach before and am not sure whether to take up his offer.
On the one hand I am reluctant to pay for it. I've always liked running because it's largely a free sport. I seem to have done alright so far without paying any more than a club membership fee.
But I still have goal race times and have thus far not managed to hit them. Maybe a personal coach can help me do this. £5 an hour isn't extortionate and if it gets me where I want to be, I'll be happy to have paid for the service. Currently I'm unaffiliated so it's not as if it's an additional cost to club membership.
Anyone got any thoughts on this that they'd like to impart?

9 AM
Run - Off road intervals (BMF Run Club) 1:00:00 [4] 8.6 km (6:59 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Terrafly 303
Spotted on FB that today is BMF's monthly Run Club on the Downs so I decided to see what that's all about. Basically an intervals session run by a military PTI.
Good session, actually 90 mins but prob spent 30 of that not running. Good thorough warm up, stretching, drills and strides. Then an 8-rep session around a 500m loop on the grass. Jog recoveries varied between 2:30 and 3:00.

Felt like my legs weren't firing at full strength after yesterday but I'm pretty happy with these times for my first proper intervals session for several months.
