I've never done drills or strides.
I do like to warm up and get a bit of a lather on before a race though, especially to get my breathing going.
I've also never had a proper training schedule and just run when I can and am usually knackered at the end.
All the above is probably to my detriment and has probably contributed to many injuries and niggles.
Having said all that, I have been contacted by a very, very good fell runner who wants to take me into his stable and provide me with some coaching.
There will be a financial cost and I am seriously considering his offer, but my two concerns are
1. At 64 am I too old to change my ways?
2, Will having a structure to my running lessen my enjoyment?
