"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
SLO_HAND I cannot tell you how much I have missed post-run hot chocolate! Anybody who has not gone that route for a recovery drink has no idea what they are missing! Tallrunner I somehow suspect you will do just fine either on your own or with a new coach. Once I can run again I am thinking of trying one out to see if it is worthwhile. What has been your overall experience with versus without?

I first had a coach two years ago and he was wonderful, ie: Made me run smarter, slowed me down without being a prison guard about it. He was realistic and had a great attitude on life. I switched coaches this year in the hopes of learning new things and I did on some levels but I do not like to run in such a regimen that I am reprimanded for being a few seconds too fast in a k, etc... First coach was grounded in his approach, this new coach was like a prison guard. I think partly my knowledge of running and my questionning of his tactics to better understand the philosophies and principles made him uncomfortable. He wanted everyone to follow his way without questionning his approach. Not my style. It's all been positive...Although I like to train hard, I like to have fun to..so for me at this stage in my life it's better to be coachless and enjoy running for running. I plan on getting faster but not by counting each second, split and calorie..Life's too short and I enjoy running and life's up and down's... Crazy Tall is called crazy for a reason.

A short run this morning, according to my Polar, 3.25 miles, 9:02 average pace, 7:25 max. Didn't wear HR strap. Officially a 9:15 pace, 1 in AG but only because it was totally cherry picked & so it doesn't mean a thing!
