Just remember the golden rule(s) When you go slow go slow (aerobic) when you go fast go fast (threshold) and REST. You build and adapt when you rest.jeffwilsonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841808191917351442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021510500218583597.post-28316255555986564872011-02-14T04:44:09.404-06:002011-02-14T04:44:09.404-06:00My First HM is May 7th and I have been following (...My First HM is May 7th and I have been following (loosely) a 13 week HM plan but this past week I got away from it a little My mid-week runs were only supposed to be 3.5 mile and 4 mile but instead I went 6+ each time. Although I did do my "Tempo run" on Friday, my Long slow run, which was supposed to be on Sunday only lasted 5.3 miles.Gary34https://www.blogger.com/profile/14359251917123749303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021510500218583597.post-20603188215485038292011-02-13T18:52:26.219-06:002011-02-13T18:52:26.219-06:00Curious, when is your first half marathon race? Ar...Curious, when is your first half marathon race? Are you training (working up & getting in the miles) for it? Because once your running miles increase, your pace will start dropping. And you will probably be much faster on pavement vs. dreadmill. A a race (not just a training run) will determine what kind of shape you are in. I suspect you could easily kick out a 24 min in a 5k race. Also, are you integrating speed work, or at least one tempo run per week? To get faster, you have to practice being fast. :)Nordic Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548241363134735893noreply@blogger.com
