Nice 6-miler in the morning with Kim. Did 5 15-30 sec striders along the way for fun. Later at the gym did 40 minutes XT (eliptical, bike, stairs).

Might just hit 50 miles this week. Plan is to hold at 40-50 through the end of the year, with another 10-15 miles equilavent in cross-training. 

Thinking of doing an experiment in my training for UVM next year. Not going to do any speedwork, nothing faster than tempo runs at marathon pace. Only thing faster than that would be 15-30 sec strides.  Goal MP is in the 7-7:30 range.

9:14/142

Sounds like a good experiment for those of us 45+.

It seems like speed work does more help on the short races than the long ones. So maybe your not giving up too much in speed for the greater chance of showing up at the finish line injury free.

Yeah Terry for marathons I think the long runs and 5-10 mile MP tempo runs give you the best bang for the buck and they don't beat you up so much. Plus they can just be alot of fun. Then throw in some good up/down hill runs and I think you can get in pretty dang good shape without trashing your body in the process.

Hope you're able to get back to the running soon.
