Love those Bluebonnets, Breezie! |

Good luck in the race, Tchuck! Do you have a goal time in mind? 31 minutes is mine. Grr, I want to get faster quicker!!
No huge goal. Maybe get a tan. Ha! Probably will finish between 20:30 and 21:00. Would love sub 20:30. Well below last years PR as I am still trying to get my conditioning back (hamstring tendonitis) and have done no real up pace work. I am doing a half in May and have only run over 20 miles a week just a few weeks. Generally, for Fall peak I focus more on 5K training. Good luck to you as well.

Is this the Chili Parlor real close to campus? |

Marcus,
Yes, I believe it is. Great food, but their chili is not my type. I like meat but also some beans and noodles - more Wisconsinlike! Their chili looks like a bowl of shaved beef. |

I went to UT and have eaten that the place y'all are referring to. I think I remember liking it well enough. |

Day 2 6-9 including your fast tempo intervals (as half approaches focus on goal pace) and 4-6 X 100M quick

Sorry, for keeping on asking questions on this. I have devoured the Pfitzinger book. I jumped into the plan on the base training schedule for 40 MPW and it is similar to this. My question is probably silly but do I do 4-6
( pfitzinger says 8 X 100 meters) on a track or just in my run?
If I do it in my run what is the best way to measure the 100 M? I have a Garmin which I suppose if I could figure it out I could get it to beep at me at 100 Meters, but is there a simpler way? I hate to have the thing beeping every 100 meters on the rest of my 5 mile run for the day.
It seems way easier to head to the track but can I do that mid-day or will the school boot me out?
Geez, Im rambling but my dog just wont answer these questions for me.
Tchuck and Teresa Hope you are having a blast in Austin! |

I fly out on Thursday.
Andreia, you can work up to 8 X 100M and can do them on the road. Generally, toward end of a run, run around 15-20 sec at a quick pace. Jog and recover fully and repeat. This should not be a sprint and use first one or two to work into pace and work to a pace you feel you would maintain if doing a 800M race. It is fast but form is maintained at all times.
