Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
1.00	1.00	1.00	0.00	3.00

Ran 1 mile to soccer fields - 6:57 pace.

Ran strides/sprints length of soccer field & walked end lines after hitting stop on watch. Did 1 mile of fast running at 4:28 pace, while walking end lines for recovery.

Recovery jog home @ 9:15 pace.

I have retired from marathon racing, at least for now. Over last 6 months I have been sidelined by knee injury, continue to battle with onset of plantar fasciitis, and dealt with other discomforts. I run to be healthy, and being healthy is more important than how fast I can run a marathon. I am registered for NYC in November & will enjoy it whatever pace I choose that day.

I am currently reading '14 minutes' by Alberto Salazar ... great read that I highly recommend!

Can't argue with the marathon thoughts. There is a lot of running and racing to do in the shorter distances.

Workouts like that will keep you in shape. nice pace on that speedwork!

I may be joining you sooner than I thought. I love 5Ks and halfs, the atmosphere just seems so relaxed. At a marathon everybody knows they are about to die, so any joking that goes on always has a nervous ring to it. Still, it is a moth-to-flame thing for me. I keep thinking I am going to run a good one. Good running today.

The marathon distance definitely wreaks havoc on the body - even the pros are often battling injuries like that. Enjoy the easy-going running for awhile and get healthy.

Sorry to hear about the injuries. Enjoy all the running you do. I just started 6 weeks ago after years of not much running because I kept going too fast too soon and getting injured.

I'm taking it nice and slow, with a 10K July 24 as the current goal. At 46 I'm happy when I have healthy legs.

Looks like you have a son who runs. Same here, and it's lots of fun enjoying his running.

Good luck! Tom

I'll be with you soon too. I figure I have until I'm 55 to continue to improve and after that I'll probably be done. I probably shouldn't even say this on a running blog but I really like the challange, not necessarly the running :-(
