Sometimes i actaully run those on purpose and I think it works for me.<BR/><BR/>the night before i will eat fried fish and french fries, get 4 hours of sleep before i take off at 4:30 am and feel miserable the whole time.<BR/><BR/>Then, come race day, i know that after eating well even if i only get 5 hours of sleep, I will feel great compared to some of the training runs.<BR/><BR/>So when you have a bad long run, remember that come race day, you will feel better than the day after you ate a half slab of ribs, greasy fries, a few beers all with a mild case of the runs.<BR/><BR/>In short, poor runs are good for you as long as it is not on race day.<BR/><BR/>-tangeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23670610.post-55118408367475228302008-04-15T09:10:00.000-04:002008-04-15T09:10:00.000-04:00FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE!In my eyes, you have to focu...FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE!<BR/><BR/>In my eyes, you have to focus on adding speed in chunks and not think of it as "20 miler should be faster". LR's are still for endurance. Work on speed with the short runs...make the short runs a bit longer at same speed..etc. Before long, the LR's will naturally become faster.<BR/><BR/>I'm no expert. Ask sub 3 guy Tange. I just know what worked for me. I really just tried to get my HALF marathon time as low as I could and figured some of that would bleed over into the full. For Bayshore, I remember feeling good (i.e. fast enough) for only about 16 miles going in but I was able to hold on a bit longer in the actual race.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the wishes!

I know you're not feeling so great about it, but at least you've put in the miles. Anytime you want an invite to my pity party, let me know. There's always room here. :)L*I*S*Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727834966701714029noreply@blogger.com
