The speedwork feels hard because it's new and the long runs are hard because your now doing speedwork.<br /><br />Funny, but my lack of speed has me wanting to race shorter, as short races make me faster.

Generally on the shorter runs so there isn't as much wear on the proceeding workouts.<br /><br />I also like to get downhill pretty fast on the long hills. It seems to at least make me feel fast, increase turnover, and learn how to run them without going into debt.<br /><br />If it's there I take it, if it's not, I leave it for another day.<br /><br />This little bit seems to help on those rare occasions I run a race shorter than 5 miles. <br /><br />DoubleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-83008494846222025882009-05-26T15:14:10.828-05:002009-05-26T15:14:10.828-05:00Everyone knows Brian Kraft is one of the fastest r...Everyone knows Brian Kraft is one of the fastest races in MN. You are not going to get a lot of joggers or beginners; half the field finished under 7 minute mile pace or faster. A 17 minute 5k still would not get you in the top 50.

You know, Grandma's is open until June 1st.

I recovered sufficiently from the piriformis injury to started running last week (actually, I started by running my wife and sister in from mile 20 in Green Bay last weekend). I'll look forward to some Saturday runs over the summer. <br />Nate Bjerke (your Ron Daws partner)CHAMPION LAW LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826909941588650841noreply@blogger.com
