i like what he says about his left arm, at the end.. he mentions how his left arm is stiff when he runs but his right arm is fine, he then says "you know why? holding books when I ran to school as a kid" (something like that).

hah.

also nice little demo of how you should "sound" when you hit the ground.

Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
