Feeling better today so I decided to do one hard workout for this week in order to keep blood volume up and to stay sharp. More mentally than anything with this now. 3 miles at MP and 3 miles at LT pace with one mile easy in between. Progressive run on the treadmill today with incline at 1.5%. Did not feel as tore up afterwards vs the road. I think I may have been underestimating and forgetting the impact of good cushioned shoes and softer surfaces in terms of damage done to muscles and length of recovery. Darkhorse out..

I know what you mean.I bought a pair of Nike Vomero's recently and the pain is much better.Before,when I reached double digits the pain would start, but now,I feel much better after a long run.That reminds me....I need to start doing them again!

Vomero's? Why do you like Vomeros Mike? I always trained in racing flats because I could get away with it for a while. But now after years of mileage and numerous hard marathons I'm afraid the damage is showing in the form of scar tissue and soreness. This happened to Bill Rodgers also after 40 years of age. I think you are have a finite number of good marathons in you and thats it. Better to take care and run for the long term maybe.
