Forums >Racing>running sub 1:45 HM - any advice?
Kimmi -- A lot of great advice above. The schedule above that John A posted (not sure if I recommended that to him) is the way to go.

SMART Approach
Tchuck - you are the guilty party that recommend the above schedule -- along with some original input from nooby (but the miles per day and the up tempo on Wed and Sun - were your recommendations). I have used it a couple of times but found that 40 MPW was a little too much for me at the current time (legs started hurting and I was showing all the signs of boredom and over work and so on and so forth) so I have cut back to a 30 MPW schedule for the time but will be working my way up to your prescribed schedule over the course of the next few months..and proceed from there... Right now I am going Mon - 3 easy Tue - 3 easy Wed - 6 (3 easy - 3 tempo) Thur - 3 easy Fri - - Rest Sat - 5 easy Sun - 10 -- (last two up tempo)
