"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason." J. Handy
BTW, there is a huge hill at 3k that lasts about a k in length. Should I therefore go out faster than I normally would do to make up for the deop in pace up the hill? How do you guys address hills? Lean into it, short strides etc? Recovery at the top? Do you keep going with the same exertion once you have peaked the hill, and let the flat bring your breathing back to normal? Sorry for going on, you can tell I am nervous. this is the route by the way.
