    Although he's doing a good job of explaining the purpose of different sessions he did get a bit too involved with the definition of what constitutes 'Speedwork'. He is neither right nor wrong, his own interpretation is very rigid but speedwork is whatever you want it to be........we used to call it 'quality work' and I would certainly make the definition looser than what he is stating. But, as was said, what difference does it make?

    I agree but it is nice to see someone having a debate about it at least and knowing enough to do so :D

    Total miles for last week 40.4

    Mon - 1 m wu/wd 8:13, 7:50, 7:45 - total 5 miles

    Was clearly not at my best today - as evidenced by the snot factory that is my nose ;), but still was determined to go through the session and as I havent done any speed stuff for 2 weeks and in the end the last rep was only 15 seconds off the usual so cant be too bad for me :D
  • Not too shabby after 18 miles in the last 2 days.:D:D

    Its more the remains of my cold hanging around but it should be gone soon (munching lots of chili to blast it out and lots of garlic to keep it away :D)

    Are you resting tonight for next week?
  • Yep, have a hint of a sore throat so rest day today!:D

    yup, blister free......I have been making excuses for long enough, and finally my children were fed up with me pretending that I would get round to it one day, so when I came home from work and said "I might go for a run" both of them just said "go on then".......so I didn't really feel as though the excuses would work any more :o

    I didn't stop to walk, and I deliberately didn't check the time when I left or take a watch with me, because I don't want to get involved in mins/mile again just yet. I just want to get myself fit again, and lose a bit of the excess weight that has accumulated since London.....

    It's a start.......:T
