However, around here you can get a nice chunk of time from Oct to June to focus on training.<BR/><BR/>Ryan, thanks for the input. I can maybe see MP + 40 being called "easy" if I trained at the pace more frequently.<BR/><BR/>Susan, the quote means that your workouts <B>show</B> you that you're a supermodel.

Good job at Chicago, I was proud of you for bouncing back.<BR/><BR/>I don't have much to add to the training talk I see. I grew up on the Lydiard type methods and quickly found you could get in great condition to do hard workouts. Most people won't set aside a year to get in shape and peak for a race and for us who love to race why would we?<BR/><BR/>I think what I always enjoyed most was going out for a solid 14-15 mile workout. One you could bite your teeth in and just feel the miles click off like you were doing a half hour run. I always seemed to have an easier go of it when I could train 70-80 a week rather than trying to scuttle together those 30-50 mile weeks and hope for the best.<BR/><BR/>I ran almost 10 in the woods Sunday with a friend and two of his dogs. After all these years I still enjoyed this more than most things I accomplished during the week. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>DoubleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163554577786770292006-11-14T19:36:00.000-06:002006-11-14T19:36:00.000-06:00Mark, I'm "always" positive, but I'm realistic too...Mark, I'm "always" positive, but I'm realistic too. Just because I shake things up doesn't guarantee that it'll be a success. <BR/><BR/>And if it's a success that doesn't guarantee that it's because of something I did this year - maybe it's something I did last year.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163553738218232722006-11-14T19:22:00.000-06:002006-11-14T19:22:00.000-06:00Do you ever think positive? you know, upbeat!Do you ever think positive? you know, upbeat!MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349522832625529847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163550587575510332006-11-14T18:29:00.000-06:002006-11-14T18:29:00.000-06:00Mark, maybe I am wrong with the mystery coach.

So if they're different I'm really confused by their different interpretations. <BR/><BR/>2007 might not be good, but it will be different.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163545369500105202006-11-14T17:02:00.000-06:002006-11-14T17:02:00.000-06:00A very useful post, thanks.

I have read and digested it all and like you say it is hard work!<BR/><BR/>Isn't Mike's mystery coach from CT.

One Mystery Coach calls MP+20 seconds a 'hard' run, and the one in your magazine calls MP+20 seconds 'slow and easy'. Two completely different perspectives from the same person? <BR/><BR/>Is the article online at all? Post a link if possible. I'd be curious to read it.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289568704502576258noreply@blogger.com
