AM: 5.15 Had a lengthy conversation with jamie about training philosophy. The only interesting thing that came out of it was that he thinks that for 5k to 10k training, one run each day should be a good bit longer than the race distance. In college he did only 3 miles in the mornings and did his main run in the afternoons much longer (making 80-100mpw). The rest of the conversation just made me feel more confident that I am recovering daily from runs and workouts which is what is really important. And recovering from the marathon just takes a long time but we don't think that running drastically less would speed up or improve that recover. Active recovery as always. The most I should possibly do is drop workouts for a while. So I have decided to not race this weekend and stop workouts for a while. Probably until december or january except for the occaisional threshold stuff. |
