I am already following my twice-a-week fitness plan and concentrating on my personal goals as well, hopefully soon I can have some tangible results that I can also share with you!<br />Alex, I will read this article when it becomes available online (unfortunately I can't find the US edition of Runner's World here in Oxford). <br />I do think their approach is radical. I would like to know how their runners are feeling at the 35th km when all they have done before is up to 16! I suspect they must slow down a lot! Saying that, though, I have to say I am not a very high mielage long-run person myself. I don't usually do more than 25km in one go anymore, I think it keeps me fresher and stronger (ie less injuries). <br />But that 25km run is more like a long interval session than a long slow run (ie. with clear segments closer to or faster than marathon race pace). <br />I enjoy doing these, can even do them in the track, and I think they work best for me! <br />Keep running!Natasha Giannousi-Varneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244980866743701102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062671481497359671.post-20812533892751651582011-01-03T20:59:07.408+00:002011-01-03T20:59:07.408+00:00Have a happy new year!
Good luck with your ressolu...Have a happy new year!<br />Good luck with your ressolutions. I think you will struggle hard and fulfil most of them!<br />In my case for 2011, I'd like to broaden my private circle and meet more people. Changing my job would be also fine. These are somewhat targets that don't depend entirely on my decision but at least I considered them!<br />Finally, run a lot and keep writing! <br />These last ones are the easiest!Daniel Justribóhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840641742504035566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062671481497359671.post-73559682972139261122011-01-02T23:16:08.199+00:002011-01-02T23:16:08.199+00:00Καλη χρονια!!!!!Καλη χρονια!!!!!Τα σπορτέξhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141697254201277604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062671481497359671.post-57984009767658335652011-01-02T08:38:57.438+00:002011-01-02T08:38:57.438+00:00On the first day of 2011 I ran 15K on Lycabettus, ...On the first day of 2011 I ran 15K on Lycabettus, whilst listening to waltzes, polkas und marscher auf Johan und Josef Stauss from my ipod, celebrating the day :)))) <br /><br />I just read something on Runner's World (Jan 2011 US edition, "Way of the Renegades", p.86 - 91) abt the Hanson - Brooks Project and I wanted to share it with you. These guys (the Hanson Bros) train elite athletes (and common mortals as well) in a way that although they do 70K per week, they do not allow them to run more than 16K on a stretch. Aka no traditional 'long run' b4 a marathon, but shorter intense runs & strenghtening of the body. I kinda did the same b4 Athens Marathon, since I started training late in the season (hadn't known then abt the Hansons, I just trainned on instinct combining days of boxing trainning & running) and lowered my time by 20 min (although I did on 32K and a couple of 23-25K). The Hansons say it works and they have a bunch of athletes to prove this. Plus they claim that you do not get injured this way. I think it is interesting to give it a thought.<br /><br />Happy New Year! Ygeia & Dynami!<br /><br />Alex K-CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
