Nice workouts. I'm still figuring out how to make up for no longer having local hills. I'm looking forward to decent weather, when I can put my daughter in a playpen in the shade and do my mileage on the 1k grass loop on my property and workouts on my 400m oval.

Thanks Andy. I'm sure I need the hills more than you. No doubt I've lost some muscle mass from aging. Other than hilly terain to run on it sounds like a very cool setup you have with a 1k stretch of grass and a track to run on right in your own backyard. And here's always the treadmill you can set on an incline to simulate hills--not the same as the natural ones but better than nothing.

Andy and all,

This is a good thread idea. I may not post much, but it's interesting to see what you guys are doing as you train for certain distances. Keep it going if you can...

Thanks,

Steve
