I checked out a copy of Pfitzinger from library today, and have started reading it -- I may or may not get bored and forget about it, but maybe I'll learn something -- already, I think I've learned that I should run more at LT (1-hour race pace).

I distinctly remember spaniel's opinion on Lore; I hope his opinion of Pfitzinger is substantially higher.

This is when I wish I could press like.  (although I didn't like the like button when you could press like).

I've avoided reading books on training, but am getting the feeling I really ought to.  I have a nasty habit of knowing (or at least having a vague idea of) what I should be doing, but not doing any of it, makes me destined for punterdom, then contemplating "training" rather than "running", realising I don't know enough, and just choosing to keep on running (aided by my huge ability to avoid entering races and therefore avoid having real goals).  

Hope you enjoy the read and that anything you learn makes for enjoying the running and improvement, rather than it feeling like a chore to improve. 

Also interested to hear Spaniel's opinion.

I turned out to be too lazy to run three times today after all, but I did finish my 7th consecutive day of doing something fast every day.

Pretty sure that won't be what Pfitz recommends -- but none of them I'd say only two of them have been really hard workouts, and I've had fun with all of them.
