TW2G Week #5 In The Books
This new program we designed is for those who want to improve their times in their 5k-8k events. It is a program that is old school pre style with many speed sessions. It has the style of Kevin Collins and Jeremy West. The speedwork is Collins style. I love it. This week hurt because I was sick all week but I wasn't about to fold to a mere sickness. It was nice to eclipse the 34 mile run mark again for the first time in a long time. Next week will be the longest week I have run since January training for Boston. So I am very happy that the rehab has gone well and I am back improving again. I am looking forward to the 50 mile relay on the 10th!
I have to say that many have looked at the program and a couple have been a little nervous about the work on the program. It is hard but any good thing you have to work at. My mom has worked her butt off through 5 weeks on the program. The result so far is taking nearly 2 minutes off her mile in certain workouts. She is also doing the "speed work" portions of the program. Great job out there mom! Now pick a race this fall! Just Do it!
