Whether you are into running or not, it’s always good to find out how elite athlete’s do it!
I hooked up with Lee Merrien a British cross-country athlete who is also a sub 4-minute miler.
Lee’s got body fat of around 5% but shock horror he eats lots of potatoes which have been outlawed by a lot of fat loss experts and coaches.
This is a sample week of Lee’s training….
Mon
AM 45-60mins run
PM 20mins jogging, drills & 8 x 80m hill sprints plus core/glut exercises
