Tonite at track Coach said I have a big frame

Tonite at track the workout was 18 400s @ 10K pace and then 4-6 400s @ 5K pace. I don't think I've ever done that many 400s and I've been running since the late 80s. As I've probably mentioned, right now I'm one of the slower people and there's this girl that's new to running and happens to be my pace. Most of the people on the team are fast so we stand out as a couple of the slower, there are others too besides us but not many. This girl and I always run together. Tonite we had a great workout. We held our first 18 400s at about 2:03 which translates to a 8:12 mile which isn't real fast but it's not 10 min miles either. Then we did 4 more at about 1:55 pace. So I thought we did great and held our pace well. After practice, Coach was leaving and Tara said Bye to him and he came over to us and said we did a good job at practice and said maybe we should try some run/walk sessions because we had big frames and it'd be better for us if we spent most of our time running faster so we were moving forward more than up and down. He doesn't want us to get injured. I understand what he's saying but it's hard for me to listen to him because I've been running for so long and have never been told to run/walk. Tara is 5'11" so she towers over my 5'5" but neither of us are petite but I also have to remember I weigh more than usual and that makes me slower too. I guess I'll just have to keep working at it so I'm back to what I was not that long ago and then maybe he won't see me as a slower big-framed girl. Oh well, I love practice regardless and I really enjoy running w/ Tara.
