Report from "Coach"
After posting a brief report on my web page and sending an update email to my coach and renowned exercise physiologist , Owen Anderson, here is what he had to say;
I am very, very sorry about the way things worked out. This is very disappointing and frustrating for you, and I feel very bad that the race did not go better.
I am doubtful that the glutes are not firing on the flat, one would have to have an EMG performed during running. This is a very uncertain area of research, with no norms established for glute firing levels. And, since the glutes and back were tight, it seems instead that the glutes were over-firing, getting locked up rather than removing themselves from action. I think that possibly a better explanation is simply that you injured the area while picking up the Hungarian-woman's bricks :-) near the escalator on the way to the race venue, and that the glutes and low back were simply not recovered in time for the race. While this was a freak event, it nonetheless reveals that the area does require further strengthening. ( I should mention that, the glutes not firing was my interpertation of what was explained to me, so what do I know :-)
I am very glad that your fire is still burning strong. You are still going to run sub-7; there is much success in the future for you. What have you been doing for training since you returned?
Very kindest regards,
Owen

Final Preparations
With one week to go before the world championships I look to some keys to this critical time period ahead:
(1) Carry out one last vVO2max session. This will push my fitness up yet another notch.
(2) On the plane ride over to the Netherlands, move around and carry out light stretching.
(3) Sleep on the plane ride over. Aim for 6hrs sleep on the plane ride.
(4) Avoid all alcohol on the way over (but not after the 100K on Saturday) :-)
(5) Get into the Amsterdam time zone right away. Refuse to nap on Tuesday, and retire for the evening about 10 P. M., Amsterdam time. Get up at 7-8 A. M. on Wednesday, no matter what, to help get adjusted, and avoid nap on Wednesday so that I will sleep better Wednesday night.
(6) Continue to eat in a healthy way while in Amsterdam, plenty of fruits and veggies plus whole grains.
Last Week of Training
Saturday, September 1 – SWU and then 4 x 10mins with 2min recovery at 6:45 pace, with a 1-mile CD at the end.

Later in the day, cycle easily for 45 minutes.
Monday, September 3 – Departure for Amsterdam. Morning workout, one last vVO2max session, as follows: SWU and then 5 X 1K in 3:07 each, with 3:07 jog recoveries and a 2-mile CD at the end, followed by stretching of hip flexors, glutes and hams.
Tuesday, September 4 – Arrival in Amsterdam (Rest Day)
Wednesday, September 5 – 7 miles of easy loping, followed by gentle, thorough stretching.
Thursday, September 6 – SWU and then 4 X 400m in 75 seconds each, with 75-second recoveries after the first three intervals and a 2-mile CD at the end, followed by thorough, gentle stretching.

3) Complete 50 sit-ups
(4) Perform 18 squat thrusts with jumps (burpees)
