I think my training is going good for just two weeks into the plan. I have started my weekly speed training that is mainly in the form of Tempo and 1/2 mile intervals.
I struggle with one thing. I am supposed to run all my training runs during this segment of my training plan at 8:34 /mi. Well, I am running more in the area of 8:15 - 8:20 and sometimes on flat parts of the run it gets more like 8:00 and below.. I know this can come back to haunt me in the form of overtraining injuries.. so I really have to get my mind into the right pace.
Oh yeah.. BTW: I sent in my first entry into theextramile podcast.. I hope that Kevin will be able to use it and post it on the podcast..
Good stuff, hope your training keeps going well. I've got to formalize my training plan, I think the goal is to train for Vulcan, then tranisiton to Mercedes. I'm hoping to run the first leg of a relay, and continue on for the 1/2. Last year I did the relay and we actually had a blast. Our team came in second over all and our Internal Audit team came in first. It was kind of weird to finish the Marathon within a few minutes of the actual winners.
