I've been toying with the idea of running around 3 times a week but running at marathon pace or a little better every time as I head towards my off season.  I'm interested to see if I burn out or if my body lets me do it.

Terry I'm curious to see how the 3-a-week fast running plan works for you. For some people this seems to work pretty well, especially for 5K/10K training or even the 1/2 marathon.

I've been a big proponent of the high miles plan the last year but it seems the last few months this plan hasn't been working for me so well. I think many runners, especially masters (including me) can't handle a steady dose of 60-80 mile weeks year round. I think rest weeks every 4-5 weeks and some down time right after a big marathon (a rest "month" or 2) with lower mileage and/or cross-training is a good way to go. I think I'll be doing this after SGM to try and get some life back into the old-man legs.
