Just substitute in "swim" and "bike." Sigh.<br /><br />I don't know how you manage to do all you do BEFORE work! I think you are so right about the mental training. <br /><br />I know my training is making ME mental. :)jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105083650427355181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-42368875537789619132009-06-05T12:57:04.683+01:002009-06-05T12:57:04.683+01:00Thanks Thomas, this is exactly what I needed, tota...Thanks Thomas, this is exactly what I needed, totally unexpected, I was looking for another 3 year wait. I can already feel the difference. <br /><br /><br />you're doing great as always, wow a 15 mile run in base trianing, sounds like a tough program. but if anyone can do it you can Thomas.DawnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953468032024737750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-72991099890157810002009-06-05T09:41:14.959+01:002009-06-05T09:41:14.959+01:00Wow - 28C is definitely warm for your neck of the ...Wow - 28C is definitely warm for your neck of the woods. Yes, we never complain either as we always have a couple of months of 10-12C days to get through.<br /><br />As long as you're recovering from day to day the regular "solid" sessions should do you good. Listen to the body though. If you're feeling particularly flat I wouldn't be forcing out a scheduled tempo run.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-90692073618349765732009-06-05T08:54:53.670+01:002009-06-05T08:54:53.670+01:00Dare I say it!

I think you can do speed work and increase your mileage as long as you are running most of the rest of your runs at a conservative pace.<br /><br />Great job with the long runs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378547566593756176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-80603101044368675102009-06-04T16:56:38.137+01:002009-06-04T16:56:38.137+01:00Its really important to run well within yourself i...Its really important to run well within yourself in the early stages of base building, as you get fitter from all the aerobic work your paces will naturally improve!<br />HAPPY RUNNING!RICK'S RUNNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836338956751369408noreply@blogger.com
