National Coach Denis Watts asked whether I would do sessions with teenage star Janet Lawrence, who came to the track every couple of weeks. I was very happy to do so, and had known her family since she was 9 as her elder brother was also a junior champion. I even had lunch with her and a mutual friend at the English Schools the day Janet set a World best for a 12 year-old in 1971.<br />Typically, I would do 2 sets of 6x200m with 90 sec between, and 6 minutes between sets. Janet would do 6x300m, coinciding with my second set in the last 200 of each.<br />She knew I had already done a half-session, and that I was past serious racing, while I knew she was running further, and I was not going to yield to a female runner.<br />It worked very well.<br /><br />Malcolm WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
