NYC is just around the corner and some of us who didn't get in want to make sure you make the most of this gift. You are doing us a service by training hard for this esteemed race and are only (which I know is not true) doing us a disservice by not training as you should. No excuses. Get on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-54623743881533905442007-06-17T07:53:00.000-05:002007-06-17T07:53:00.000-05:00Congrats on your 8 hours a week of running for the...Congrats on your 8 hours a week of running for the last two weeks.

This is exactly how people get injured because they think it's a race and do not understand that you pace yourself during speed work just like you would during a marathon.<BR/><BR/>Further, good/excellent form is very important during speed work and you have to be very aware as well.<BR/><BR/>I can honestly speak from experience because my last injury happened during speed work.<BR/><BR/>Houston Fit has several coaches who are excellent when it comes to Speed and Hill Workouts. They not only teach you how to do the workout properly, they impart a wealth of knowledge so you get great benefits from each session (other than aches and pains of course). There are also one or two Coaches that I avoid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-47516414389642495162007-06-15T08:36:00.000-05:002007-06-15T08:36:00.000-05:00Good food for thought Vic!

It was the one and only year I didn't have injuries. Two years later, I went to the speedwork and hill sessions and I ended up with achilles tendonitis. :-)TX Runner Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13820410810670760913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10005655.post-25343426240669710842007-06-14T23:21:00.000-05:002007-06-14T23:21:00.000-05:00Good questions!Good questions!J~Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414861007306587786noreply@blogger.com
