Back when I was training for my first marathon. I'm gonna do them more though when I run my first ultra next year.Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-66996902458603842522012-06-25T12:06:16.862-05:002012-06-25T12:06:16.862-05:00Very interesting!

The smartest decision I ever made with my running was to join fastrunningblog.com and watch how elites train. Luckily for me Jake Krong took me under his wing and taught me how to train correctly. I will never be an elite runner but that doesn't mean I can't train like one. :)Rachelle Wardlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924064419764851273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-15581764970512629752012-06-25T09:26:19.789-05:002012-06-25T09:26:19.789-05:00I've read some of Jeff's stuff and I think...I've read some of Jeff's stuff and I think he has some really great philosophies. I know I am guilty of running my longer runs/easier runs too fast at times due to the group I run with (it just happens in a pack!). I am making a conscious effort to do more solo running this year to keep that effect to a minimum. I also love doubles and do them every marathon training cycle.misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-47086063854398962452012-06-25T07:37:48.155-05:002012-06-25T07:37:48.155-05:00I know I really need to add in double runs, but I ...I know I really need to add in double runs, but I hesitate to slow my running down anymore. I do several slow and easy runs a week, but not quite that slow, and not quite that often. But it seems to me that I just adjust to that speed and never improve. When a "fast" day rolls around, it feels difficult for me compared to the easy runs.Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.com
