Alex Hains final Marathon workout with Tommy Davies
Posted By Joe on April 16, 2012
With just under 2 weeks to go until the start of the 2012 Virgin London Marathon, Laneone went to film the third of our 3 marathon boys, Alex Hains, complete his final marathon workout before the race. Alex will be running a 2mile tempo, followed by 6x800m reps, and a final 1mile tempo.
After completing some great weeks of training early in his buildup, Alex went to run the Trafford 10k and posted a PB of 29.34 in finishing 3rd. However, soon after this, he had to miss a big block of training with tightness in his back, during which time he could barely run, and certainly couldn’t run fast. A trip to see physio Mark Buckingham got him back on the road again, but he has missed some of the longer workouts he would have liked. Alex is philosophical about the missed time, and say’s his attitude towards the race hasn’t changed. Former Butler University 5000m runner Tommy Davies joins him for this workout.
