Plus progressively dropping the pace is better than progressively increasing the pace after going out too hard.<BR/><BR/>Ryan, I wasn't doing 100s immediately before Chicago, but I had 1-2 last winter along with a couple of 90+ mile weeks. The winter seems to be my time for higher mileage because I don't care if I'm tired since I'm not racing at all.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163996027406317052006-11-19T22:13:00.000-06:002006-11-19T22:13:00.000-06:00I love when I get you thinking.

You're right, watching Andrew's progress is entertaining.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340810097551928846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163956646860053782006-11-19T11:17:00.000-06:002006-11-19T11:17:00.000-06:00I like the idea of progression run, and I think it...I like the idea of progression run, and I think it is a pretty good approach to 100 mpw -- starting slowly so you can guarantee enough distance, then if you feel good you can always pick up the pace to high end aerobic or AT later so you also got in some intensity. This way, you can also avoid getting so hung up with the pace.<BR/><BR/>During my recovery from the last marathon and back to normal training, I applied such approach for 2 weeks with mileage at 60, this week I can easily bump up the mileage to 77 still with good intensity (LT pace and AerT pace).hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291454748328856498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163817861933610232006-11-17T20:44:00.000-06:002006-11-17T20:44:00.000-06:00Bart, yeah I think we get so hung up on pace some ...Bart, yeah I think we get so hung up on pace some times that we forget that just building mileage is very important too. <BR/><BR/>I think I'm healthy. Just a little strain this morning. Hopefully nothing to worry about.<BR/><BR/>Dori, thanks for stopping by again. I'm glad you liked the article. I'm planning on contributing more articles to the magazine in the future.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1163816643700685782006-11-17T20:24:00.000-06:002006-11-17T20:24:00.000-06:00The only sub-3 I can do is a half-M, so I can't re...The only sub-3 I can do is a half-M, so I can't relate to you guys. But I read your article in Run Minnesota about Blogging, and wanted to say hi.

I've been back and forth a lot lately on how to prepare for my sub-3 attempt at Napa this March. <BR/><BR/>I think the following lines from your entry sum up where I'm at: "I think I really need to focus on building my mileage right now. Once I get to a level I’d like to hold, then I can worry about pace a little more."<BR/><BR/>Of course the first step is to get healthy.<BR/><BR/>BartBarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012284425240610420noreply@blogger.com
