I am doing a Bart Yasso program to prepare for the marathon. My last marathon had me training with little purpose. I did the required long runs but everything in between was just running. I am trying to stick to this program as closely as I can while manintaing sanity and my gym work load.
I have been running hills once a week for the last 6 weeks, and I am shocked at the conditiong I have achieved! I used to run the hill leading up to Diamond Valley Lake in about 11 minutes (working about 65-70%) I did an 8 mile conditioning run there yesterday and averaged 8:50 minute miles at about the same sustained effort level. WOW! Whenever I read something from the experts, I have faith in the words, and yet I am still always pleasantly suprised when I apply them and they work! Brilliance!
