Good workout, Bret. The rest was short, so the fact that you felt good says a lot about your fitness.

Yep, like Jason said, nice workout. The fact that you felt good off the short recovery is an encouraging sign.

You seem to be making excellent progress since you started chucking performance enhancing minerals (PEM's)down your throat.:)

Thanks guys - the PEM's have definitely set me straight.

I will be interested to see if this workout plan gets me to the goal. Strength sessions on Tuesdays, tempo (MP) on Thursdays and long runs on the weekends - all increasing in length or intensity or both as the weeks progress to London.

Makes a lot of sense to me. Nothing too severe to stop you recovering properly etc, but the regular injections of appropriate stress should get you there.

I like it.
