Hell, I ran 6:27 pace for a half in February and only 6:22 pace for 10k in September. Granted comparing races is like apples and oranges, but still, something is not right with that comparison.<BR/><BR/>I haven't done strides for awhile, I need to add them back in my schedule.<BR/><BR/>Have a great race this weekend. I can't wait to hear how everyone does. I'll be riding my bike all over the TCM course.<BR/><BR/>Boston would be fun with a big group like in 2002, but I'm not planning on going.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1127957850341890962005-09-28T20:37:00.000-05:002005-09-28T20:37:00.000-05:00Zeke,Good to hear you are running well.

I then went on to have a very good year later on through the summer. I was training well then, I just couldn't hit my wheelhouse and I knew it. Sometimes we just get there and others times it is flat.<BR/><BR/>With the schedule you have, it looks set up well to break 18. Continue to do the fast turnover stuff and strides and you'll be fine. Occasionally, I like to just kill myself on a half workout for cause and effect. I think a person has to do that once in awhile.<BR/><BR/>I hear a lot of talk about Boston this year. I would like to go, but am undecided as of yet. I still yearn to go under 2:40, but the shadows are longer now. I feel I will have to get faster over the shorter stuff before making this attempt. Amazingly, as I slow, so does most of my competitors. There has to be a way to break through and I'm afraid it is found in a 6 month training regiment. At 44, this doesn't sound appealing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
