I love what you wrote above (it appears about Naomi after reading your comments)... Great advice! Especially for me after my longest run ever today too. I was okay during it, but did think to myself, "How will I ever add three more miles to this to finish the half?" Deep down I know I can, but it is pretty discouraging at times. It is six hours since I arrived home from that run and I am feeling SO wiped out and spent. Does that ever get better??? I had to sleep for two hours to just recover and I never do that after a six or even seven mile run. I have only been running for not quite a year, but it seems it wouldn't drain me SO bad. Sorry for rambling! But thanks for listening. I love your blog and will visit often!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872904214528321153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7584982878804667025.post-40405553218240233592008-04-07T19:48:00.000-05:002008-04-07T19:48:00.000-05:00Jen, I ain't no expert but my understanding is th...Jen, I ain't no expert but my understanding is the long runs are for building endurance and strength. The wisdom in this neck of the woods is no runner was ever injured from running too fast! Speed training is shorter (about 6 to 8 miles weekly). I am guilty of setting too fast of a pace for the same reasons you mentioned in your "Why I Run" blog. Race day is about speed, the mind, and adrenalin... this is the day you pour it on... you've got nothing else to save it for! Good luck in Salt Lake City Marathon. I'll be rooting for you! Go girl, go!, Cheers, MAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997358515383285267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7584982878804667025.post-21430979499159117512008-04-07T19:39:00.000-05:002008-04-07T19:39:00.000-05:00Naomi, My entire pace bunny reputation lies in ge...Naomi, My entire pace bunny reputation lies in getting you across the finish line upright and smiling... no pressure ;>) Seriously, chalk yesterday's run up to a bad day. We have good runs and bad runs... you unfortunately experienced the latter. I wish I could say it'll be your last. Fortunately we have more good than bad. Next week is an easy 12 miler... remember when 12 miles was impossible?!
