10 miles slow run on the hills approx 9.5 minute per mile.

Training with www.runnershigh.in this is week-1

Training for a marathon on 15-Jan-2012.

Two focus areas:

1.  to get atleast 4  20+ mile runs during nov/dec months and then taper down.

2. Second focus area is speed drills - plan to do Veronique Billat 's vVO2max workout ie. run 5x3 min at a 5k pace with 3 min recovery jog at half the pace. 

Suggestions/comments welcome.

Cheers

Murthy
