Show Notes
This is my 3rd coach/athlete interview and it's another fabulous one. It features 2 previous guests who've since started a very fruitful coach/athlete bond. Anne Gilshinan recently became the first W60 under 5 minutes for 1500m after over 2 years returning from injury. Here she talks about that record and winning gold in Gothenburg and we hear Tony's perspective on the race as a coach. Anne also discusses her time off and how she dealt with that and how Tony started coaching her. We hear about their methods, future plans and acknowledge all the help Anne gets and the brilliance of her adversaries. A wonderful episode.

Episode 115 is based on a new book called, 'The Norwegian Method Applied' by Marius Bakken whose method is used most famously by Jakub Ingebritsen. Its core is the famous double threshold we all have heard about. I've been doing it with my coach for over 6 weeks and really enjoy it. I'm going to go through the basics here for masters runners. It's definitely worth a listen folks as athletes have had huge success from it. He actually did his first double threshold session with Seb Coe's dad in 1996, who was way ahead of his time and Bakken has conducted more than 5,500 lactate tests and used himself as a long-term experiment, ultimately running 13:06 for 5,000m- a record in Norway for 20 years and he competed at two Olympics. Enjoy, share and give it a try.
