David, best of luck to you. Sounds like you have found a plan that works for you and is putting you on the road to success
. That's by far the most important thing...finding something that works for you! I know there are as many philosophies out there in terms of training as there are miles in a marathon, if not more. It's confusing to wade through all the information. As a fitness professional cross-training is my job LOL...so of course it's unavoidable for me. And LOL...I am by no means in your league or even hope to be accomplished in running (meaning, I won't qualify for Boston ever). I am simply amazed at those who can run 80 or 100 miles per week, it's so far beyond my comprehension
.
I'm currently following a Runners World Smart-Coach plan which will hopefully help me run a respectable, albeit slow, Half Marathon in October. I'm pretty much always Half-Marathon ready with my current mileage and fitness level, however I'm hoping that speed work and two pseudo long runs per week will help me run a solid race on the hilly course.
Take care and have some great runs this week!!!![Title :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/thumbsup2.gif)
