I'm a speed demon, so I love speedwork, but anything done faster than race pace is speedwork and for 100 miles, that's every run.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-71629389434485843242012-01-08T19:19:18.558-06:002012-01-08T19:19:18.558-06:00Can't disagree with that - simple, clean and e...Can't disagree with that - simple, clean and easy to follow. Two objections: I like to include some speed work and 12 hours of running sounds upward of 80 miles/week - likely too much for the average runner.<br /><br />And investing $500-600 is well worth finishing Sawtooth.Matt Lutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349371525627476283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-29159144390498167642012-01-06T10:44:37.483-06:002012-01-06T10:44:37.483-06:00I agree with Wayne.

At least the mammo is quick, but the prep for the colonoscopy is brutal.joyRuNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033973041471006513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-37809770894879394502012-01-05T11:33:48.582-06:002012-01-05T11:33:48.582-06:00Well at least you made it 3 days Steve that's ...Well at least you made it 3 days Steve that's better than some people. Nice post too, I wish I had read it at this time last year before doing my first 100.
