Whoo...Hooo Great Job Rye! I think the RLRF program tries to weed out people on this first workout. These 1 mile repeats are some of the worst of all the training. I was convinced I wouldn't be able to keep up with the future workout after this workout the first time. I found that it got easier :-) My avg. pace the first time around wast 6:19 and it wa a killer! So...we're off and running! My cross-training is going to be very weak this week as I have something going every night. I'll probably not be able to bike until next week.

Good way to start off the week. Good luck with the new program.

IJR one down and 40 + to go. I'm hoping that my times improve. This is going to be huge challenge

I waited for you at 5:30am .... Then realized that you Texans don't get up till mid morning:).

Crhudman... Thanks I'll need it. I can tell that I have logged too many junk miles!

Hey Rye, you will improve. Like I said, I think the RLRF program throws in that first run to try and weed people out. You came very close to the pace and that's without much speed work before.

What's up with the Texas jokes today...even DL and RT are ribbing me about Texas ... Well, I guess we do have a lot to brag about...including the Spurs !!!

From TexasLindsey on Mon, May 21, 2012 at 15:29:46 from 192.35.35.34

Looks pretty good to me! I guess speed is relative though. What's the RLRF program?

From Rye on Mon, May 21, 2012 at 17:44:14 from 174.27.116.87

Hey TexasLindsey.....the RLRF is pretty crazy. It is based on the theory of 3 and 2...... 3 running days and 2 cross training days in between running days. Basically to recover from the hard days of running. First day of the week is usually mile repeats or 800 m repeats. Wednesday run is a tempo day and Friday is a long run but is a fast paced run. All in all it's pretty high intensity running three days a week. It has you peaking at 16 weeks. Do a google search on it and if your interested go to the website and look at some of the charts. I love to cycle so this program is exciting to me for that reason. I can feel in my cross training days with cycling.

Oh boy, you're even doing IJR-style spreadsheets! Nice repeats, looking good!
