Week 8 feels like.. 1983..

Eamonn Coghlan on the final bend of the 5000m (c25k!) at the World Athletics Championships in Helsinki, Finland.

He was incredibly assured, even arrogant... celebrating already.

At this point he was overtaking the leader and knew already he was going to win.

This is how it feels to be at week 8... on the final bend.... can't wait to get going down the home straight!

Well done.

I remember that race well.

That is such a great picture. And yes, that must be what winning feels like :)

You're nearly there. One more week. You can do it.

That was just coming on to the home straight Thomas.

He just knew that he had the finishing kick to easily beat the Russian(?) guy.
