Going the distance
Last night and this morning I began reading Hal Higdon's book Run Fast. At about chapter 3, Hal suggests running two 90-minute endurance runs per week to improve your speed. Okay. But then my winter training, based on Hal's first-timer training program for a marathon, does not include enough long slow distance to speed me up. There's a lot of foundation-building to do before I'll be able to go the distance at a fast pace.
I'm glad I didn't start reading this book before now. Might have been discouraged.
