It's Sunday so it's a long-run day--'cept today the long run sucked. I don't know why. Maybe it's two nights with insufficient sleep. Maybe it's boredom with having run the same roads every weekend for a month or more. Perhaps it was the cold and wind and lack of sunshine. Whatever the reason, it was a long, hard, cold, slow slog. And when it was over I had sore feet, ankles, and other areas (which modesty prevents me from naming). I've been gimping around all day.
...so it all makes me rethink my training plan, which I had structured to add ten more minutes each week. I'm up to 1:45 and 8.25 miles. But is it the most valuable use of my time? I read on Slowtwitch today where Any Potts doesn't train more than three hours at a stretch and doesn't run more than an 45 minutes (if memory serves). Needless to say I'm no Andy Potts, but it started me thinking that I should perhaps consider more intensity rather than simply length of workout.
