(no subject)
my muscles are shot. and i don't know why.
somewhere my training has to change and i can't figure out where.
this is where a coach would come into play, and i don't know if bruce can help me.
and i don't even know if coach shweigler would help me.
my last three runs were 3.75 miles, and each one is slower than the last, with my slowest being finished in 29:01.
i didn't expect to come flying back like geb or hall, but it's discouraging to have this much pain running so short a distance. last fall my easy days were ten miles long, and i could almost sprint the entire workout.
it's a long road uphill right now. and it's testing my faith.
but i'm resolved that i can do this. as much as it hurts to run, it's still the single most pacifying activity ever.
my main concerns are:
i need to somehow begin working a long run back into my schedule.
i need to get speed workouts back into my schedule.
i don't think either of those can occur without me building up further of a base and then sacrificing some mileage and going WAY back.
if i can't race next fall, i'm going to work on half-marathons.
