Maybe put some gospel on your ipod :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928667000018509987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-87497531895585408732010-04-22T04:57:27.794-05:002010-04-22T04:57:27.794-05:00It's too regimented for me too!

Then back to a more normal training plan. <br /><br />Definitely plan on doing McNotAgain 30 this October. I'm up for a rematch...maybe in my KSOs this time!Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-55054433015209038892010-04-21T19:56:02.844-05:002010-04-21T19:56:02.844-05:00You're right. 6 easy miles in the morning / e...You're right. 6 easy miles in the morning / evening aren't hard on the body.<br /><br />You're a talented runner Chris. I won't forget how you blew past me at McNotAgain last October. :-) Rematch?<br /><br />In any case, it's a bit too regimented for me is all. I certainly wish you luck.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322912178452520477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-89656110609263311592010-04-21T17:09:42.363-05:002010-04-21T17:09:42.363-05:00That's the devil talking Mike! :-)
It's...That's the devil talking Mike! :-) <br /><br />It's all about discipline and putting running first among priorities. Six easy miles in the morning and evening aren't hard on the body. If you do lots of hard running then you'll need time off. You are right, it's not easy getting in the 2 runs/day...even if they are "easy." Very easy to get discouraged and miss a run or a day and then toss the whole plan. This is a temporary motivator for me. Don't plan on keeping with it for more than a few weeks. A real training plan would schedule a day off and include much more variety (tempo, intervals, long, short, etc).Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-22260352856421415192010-04-21T15:43:06.567-05:002010-04-21T15:43:06.567-05:00Personally, the issue I see with it is that there ...Personally, the issue I see with it is that there doesn't appear to be any flexibility built in for days off. I'm all for structure, but there is such a thing as too much, and with this program, it seems too easy to miss a few runs, become discouraged, and abandon it in favor of something else.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322912178452520477noreply@blogger.com
