I decided to do pretty much this week what I did 4 weeks ago when I did my easy week so I ran a mile to a nice long steep hill and did 10 hill sprints with very slow walk jogs back down then did a few easy miles for a total of 6 miles. I don't think I will do any more hill repeats before Boston!!!!!

Your workouts seem so smart Rhett, do you think the Brain Training book has helped?

I don't know how smart they are, but they seem to be working for me right now. Brain Training is great if you read it for the ideas and some of the training advise. I think it really helped me focus on a few of the small details of running. I don't think there is any one training plan for everyone. You just have to do what works for you.

I've never done hill sprints. I worry that it might mess with the archilles. With that said, you're smart doing them once every 4 weeks and on an easy week. You are SO SMART in your training. Your legs will be so ready for the Newton Hills.
