Today marked the fifth and final 20 mile run of the 16 week training program, and I must be honest, I’m glad it’s behind me. The plan called for […]
Week 11 - Key Run Workout #3
No 20 mile run can ever be described as easy (well, not for me anyway), but today’s long run was one of the best I can remember for quite some time. With only 5 weeks to go until my main goal race of 2007, the Marine Corps Marathon, I was in desperate need for […]
