I agree and disagree, well sort of, no I definately am not sure.
I do agree with Ian and Elbee re structure. Before i started HRm training I was happy with my running but I did feel it was a bit haphazard. I had no confidence in whether my speed work was at the right intensity and so consequently did it too fast and failed to complete sessions.
At least now I know exactly what is required in each session. I have got slower since then, but that is because I stopped training at all - and also FLm07 took a lot out of me, both physically and mentally.
Only the other day I thought as I ran just what an achievement a marathon was for me - it is very easy to belittle it on a site like fetch because you read reports and blogs and it just seems so easy to add a mile to your LSR every week but it isn't. Now I am HR training seriously and am enjoying it a lot more and I am fully confident that I will see the results. By Dec 31 I WILL have PB's in 5k, 10k, 10m, and HM as well as at RNR.

eL Bee!
Tarange - see how you are going after 4 weeks - it can take upto (and even more than) 12 weeks to see the benefits really start to kick in! - and take it from there!

That's a good plan - and see how you are going after your 4 weeks (which isn't that long really!!!)

I think I did all my runs at 70% for about 6 months when I started!!
It helps that I am a lazy runner though....

Just wanted a couple of easy miles today before HM on Sunday. My OH has started running but her running partner keeps letting her down so suggested she come with me, we had to cut it a bit short as the blustery wind was taking it out of her but was very enjoyable.
Was amazed at the pace when I downloaded garmin. 2.5 miles @ 11:10m/m HR avg 103 (46%) I have never run that low before.
She wants to do it more and I can do runs like that on top of normal training, at least till she gets faster.

I just use the treadmill for my hill sessions, 20 mins once a week, has really helped me, have been doing it a few months now and was flying up the hills at the stamford 30km last month!

Tarange- I did ALL my runs upt NY at sub 70% and found it really built my endurance. It's only been since January I've been introducing more pace variety ino my training as I now have the good base.
