What I have noticed over the last six months is what an impact mileage has on training and resultant fitness. My miles have doubled or more but also I have been using various kinds of GA run and multi paced long runs, lots o flong runs. I have also done speed work BUT I think the multi paced long runs and GA runs are by far what has contributed to my current level of fitness and speed endurance. I'm faster, can run further and recover quicker. I like SP have only used the concepts gleaned from P&D rather than a full plan and yet it has worked very well indeed for me.
Tinytia Jun 2008 5:59pm, 9 Jun 2008 425 posts	Quote Pin Tinytia I did my recovery run this morning wearing a HRM to keep it easy, ran on the sand on the beach Tomorrow P&D schedule a 15 mile LSR and I will also wear my HRM as I would otherwise have a tendancy to 'overdo' the first few miles, especially as they give the weather to be nice tomorrow. I may get Jon to do the morning school run so I can go out a bit earlier before it heats up too much.

I will be going from an unstructured regime (usually a week of 70%maxWHR runs, with one slightly harder session and a longer/slower run) to a structured regime with slightly quicker (medm) LR's and GA runs and slower recovery runs
