I would just do "whatever" during the week and follow the long run sked on the weekend. Honestly I was always running long on the weekend and often would run 15-20 miles for "fun"! Right now I am excited and nervous.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-19449986662994881282016-05-27T12:41:47.876-04:002016-05-27T12:41:47.876-04:00Wow, after a couple years you are finally back at ...Wow, after a couple years you are finally back at it! Do you usually enter a training cycle fairly excited or does it take time for the momentum to build. I definitely go through stages when training for various events.

Now obviously the Sunday run was slower because it being on trail and running up a freaking mountain!<br /><br />As far as mentally, I am FINE with running the easy days slow. This week it was easy to go slow. I trust Hansons and I'm assuming that as training progresses and I am doing higher mileage and more speed/tempo stuff that I will be so tired that running the high 8s and 9s will be just fine for me. But we will see! You never know!!! Today I had speed work and my w/u, c/d, and recoveries were all in the 9s! But my intervals were really speedy. :)<br /><br />I am not sure much about the Galloway philosophy so I don't really know what to say about why he wants you to slow down. But I do understand why Hanson wants me to!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-46092476322167988672016-05-17T10:09:48.170-04:002016-05-17T10:09:48.170-04:00Thank you Lisa!
