Not working today, so I slept in a bit and then did a ten-miler. Chilly this morning, but I dressed better for it than I did yesterday. I went up to Chinden and Maple Grove and back along McMillian. Kept a good pace. All miles were below 8 and my last mile was the fastest.

Thanks Jeff. Tell me what you think of this plan. I want to break 3:30 in Ogden next May to qualify for Boston. So, along with getting skinnier, my goal is to be under 8mpm on all of my runs over the winter and by spring be under 7:45 on all of my runs. That way, in Ogden I should be able to hang on to a 7:45 pace for 20 miles or so and then hang on for the next 6.2.

I don't think you have to make every run MP in your training, this will lead to injury and burnout. You need to schedule recovery runs which help you increase your mileage base (most important). Then, make sure you are getting is some good long runs (15-20 miles, at least every 2-3 weeks) along with some tempo runs at HM-10K pace. Also, schedule some shorter races to run hard and test yourself. But trying to run MP for every run is a way to get injured, IMO.

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep that in mind.
