I'll let you know if it's worth buying. Last night's training run was an example from the plan and it went well. 2 miles easy, 2 miles at ST (short tempo) and 2 miles easy. You can see the GPS for it here: http://runbulldogrun.blogspot.com/ (still need to add comments to the post) Hope the groin is recovering well, --Steve Hi Dex,

I'll have to get a copy myself. I do lots of easy running during the week and I tell myself that running most days, but at an easy pace, is good for improving my running economy over time. I also add the tempo and long run in as well, but I wonder if I could work harder on those days and use the other days to recover more effectively. I'm sure I remember Runners World in the UK producing a 3 day a week running programme to train for a marathon in the last 12 months or so as well. I'll have to dig that one up and see if it is similiar to this book. Dex Steve,

Yes, that's my fear too - the older I get, the more prone to injury I am and the longer it takes to bounce back. I had a good year last year with numerous PR's (Personal Records for any non-runners reading this) and it would be nice to get back to the same level if I can. What's your next race? I'll be at the Women's Distance Festival 5k on Friday night and possibly the 3k Dog Jog on Saturday morning. We'll see... Happy miles! --Steve Thanks for the comment Charlie.

No junk miles in my trunk...they are either tempo or speed/intervals. I can still average about 40 miles a week and myy running injuries seem non-existent now. Good luck on your training. Will check your progress on your other blog. Charlie Hey Steve,
