I ran on the BST toward the U. It was a great run. One of the best I've had since summer. Hopefully I am ready to start training for Ogden on Monday. I've decided to use Hansons' Less-Is-More Plan for Ogden. This is the plan I used for St. George last year. Previously I've used Pfitz 18/70. My time at St. George was 4 minutes slower than my St. George PR but using an age adjusting calculator reduces that 4 minutes to 1 minute. Last year the ave temp on marathon day was 78° vs. 54° on the day I set my PR. Maybe warm enough to account for the extra minute? Maybe I did just as good with the Less plan? I guess the bottom line is, who cares. I'm not running to win anything. The Less plan will give me more time for other stuff. On the other hand the Less plan looks easier on paper that it feels to run it. I hope my body can handle the plan and the Slam. Oh I am not looking forward to speed work again. |
