Title: would love the training advise Post by: Josse on October 09, 2007, 05:33:14 pm Sasha, Hay I would love some training advise. I feel I have untapped potential and just need to be headed in the right direction to tap into it. I also have that fire burning under me to train hard and run well, at the next level. So any training advise is welcome. I know I am in base building mode still just coming back from injury, but I am anxious to get started. How long should I wait to start soing some sort of speed?

Hold your horses. Get to the point where you can run 10 miles a day 6 days a week and not feel fatigued or on the verge of injury. The pace does not matter. Once you are there, it will be time for strides and tempos. As a side benefit, if you were to get there and raced a marathon, I think you would PR even before you started speed.

What do you think about running some shorter races this fall?

It would be great to get together.
