But that is a perfect distance for my warm-up and cool-down! The Brooks/Hanson plan calls for speed work for the first nine weeks and then for the last nine weeks, strength workouts (which are more miles than the speed workouts but run slightly slower). BTW, the Hanson brothers coach Desiree Davila. Too bad about the ankle. Hope that issue resolves itself soon so you are back on the roads! :-)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-23610036899044034012012-12-14T06:31:51.864-08:002012-12-14T06:31:51.864-08:00And kick arse in the 10 k this weekend!And kick arse in the 10 k this weekend!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-957615977149618392012-12-14T06:31:40.783-08:002012-12-14T06:31:40.783-08:00Thanks!

I find it interesting the plan calls for Speed training in the first 9 weeks- does the speed work end after that? I'm not familiar with their plan. <br /><br />Congrats on the streaking! I had to abandon ship after 2 days thanks to the ankle. But then again I can't handle more than 2-3 days in a row of running anyways when "healthy." <br /><br />Good luck on your Boston training!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-22267551371492247692012-12-13T18:20:58.822-08:002012-12-13T18:20:58.822-08:00you are rockin' it my friend.

I just need to take it easy sometimes or risk injury.

I haven't raced a shorter distance to test it out but running at a faster pace feels much easier now. I don't know why I didn't add it in sooner!Lindsayhttp://runningthewindycity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-57107475574313304262012-12-13T13:35:17.524-08:002012-12-13T13:35:17.524-08:00Don't fear the track workouts.
