Former Bad Ass
Urgh... I'm bad at hydrating. But I think you're right. I'll grab a glass of water before I head outside. Of course, after I'll have this urgent need to pee, 4 miles away from home, while staring at the ocean.
LOL. How many ounces you drink. For my weather, I have to drink more than 100oz a day. Otherwise, I wake up with a migraine of dehydration (like today, ugh).

Ha! I know you sometimes like to ignore your plan, but what - do you just get up in the morning and look at that day's workout? Actually I was going to ask whether you are doing the same one B+ was talking about, because I was just curious about the main differences between these kind of plans not in the book vs. the Advanced Plan in the book.

The answer to your question: Yes, that's what I do. Why stress over certain workouts weeks in advance and dwell over plans which in the end (and I know people won't agree with me...) all amount to pretty much the same thing? I take it one day at a time. On Mondays, I just look at the week's mileage to give me an idea of the time I will have to devote to my runs. I don't look at the specific workouts.
And yes, it must be the same plan, I just checked mine and it does have a 5x1600m @ 5k pace, 5 weeks before race day. I do not have the book. I got my plan from Fuzzy. I think he had to purchase his. It comes with a pretty good explanation of the reason for each workouts and how to execute them. Of course, I have read none of it.

If I don't come home completely dehydrated by a LR, I don't drink anything. In a day, I can have 2 coffees, one glass of juice, one of milk and one alcoholic beverage. That's it. Add two or three 8 ounces of water on top if a run was particularly hot.

Damn woman...
go fing drink some water.
Ive had 64 oz of fluid already (1:30 pm) over half is water . Will well over double that by bedtime. And I run slightly dehydrated all the time...
If I were to do that, I would not survive here by March.
My 100oz is not counting what I drink during a run!

Word.
I have been told that I drink way too much water (60 - 100 ounces per day year around regardless of I am training or not) on a dozen occasions by doctors and/or others in that industry and I completely ignore them every time.
The irony is that at some point during those conversations I will be asked how is it that I look so young. Um, because water hydrates the skin maybe?

Well, then, you just take your shoes off and go into the ocean and then just sit down in the water and pee! Problem solved!

Because black don't crack? (I learned that one from a woman explaining her own youthful appearance.)
I would have to add it up, but I do drink a shitload of water every day. And I pee a lot, but that could also just be my age. Which I pretty much look.

lol
There is no rhyme or reason for it but the general thinking is blacks age well which I have a hard time with because I know plenty who did not.
I think it is an individual thing as I know tons of non-blacks who look awesome, and tons from all races whom for whatever reason do not.
In any event for me it comes down to hydrating, trying not to stress over shit I cannot control, eating properly and exercising obviously and staying the hell out of the sun!

All I ever write about is how important the why is. Do you pay attention to anything I write?
LOL.
I have a friend of mine that used Pfitz last year and all of a sudden he is posting a 4 miler at 8mm when his GMP was 10mm. We asked and he said, I got it from Pfitz. We said it's a recovery run, he asks what does that mean. He ended up blaming pfitz for his failure to PR on that race rather than his failure to follow the plan.
Lily is unique, though.
I ask myself that daily...
His funniest comment was when he claimed Pfitz was not clear about the paces So he just made paces up every day.
Yeah you almost have to know your training paces across the board or you could end up spinning your wheels.
