This was week 2 of using the Arthur Lydiard training plan. Once again, a very good week in training. I seem to be getting stronger and stronger, whereas last week I got pretty tired at the end of the week, I felt pretty good all week long. It seems like I am running further in the 1 hour and 1.5 hour runs than the previous week. Also, I was able to get some good fartlek training in two times this week, Monday (5) and Wednesday (10). Saturday's run went really well and I was not that tired after running for 2 hours. My plan is to probably boost up the Saturday long run to 2.5 hours next weekend.
Once again, GREAT week!
Sunday: REST
Monday: 58:52/7.3 miles/out-30:46/in-28:06(5 fartleks)

Wednesday: 57:55/7.3 miles/out-29:43(5 fartleks)/in-28:12(5 fartleks)

Friday: REST
Saturday: 2:00:22/14 miles with Allen
Mileage=50
My times seemed to be pretty consistent this week. I did a pretty good job pacing this week as well and my out and back times seem to be pretty close. Also, this week I ran in the morning time as opposed to the evenings. The morning runs seem to be much better for me, so I will try the morning runs again this week. My training runs this week also had more hills as opposed to the previous week.
KEEP RUNNING!!
Nothing beats a good run! I’ve been running for over 30 years, and somehow I enjoy it more with every mile. Marathon days are behind me now, but I’m incredibly proud to have completed 14 marathons over the years. These days, my goals have shifted, and I’ve really enjoyed running one half marathon each month — woot! Running 3–4 times a week feels just right. Most importantly, spending time with my wife and my girls, Juliana (16) and Jessa (14), is my greatest priority these days. GR8FL!
