I don't know where you live, but based on the temperature here in Edmonton, Canada yesterday, (33 C) or about WTF Farenheit, I am so totally impressed. You are obviously much more dedicated that I am. No way would I be willing to go to the hottest, nastiest evil place (outside of the 7th circle of Hell) on a hot summer evening and run circles (fast) around a track. YOU GO GIRL - I totally relate to your list as well. I recently posted a list of reasons why I didn't feel like running. These definitely apply to anytime I have to do speed work. Speedwork should be done in relative comfort on a treadmill!!!Quilt Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291349937663239214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-1151364762723567302006-06-26T19:32:00.000-04:002006-06-26T19:32:00.000-04:00Congrats on your 800 repeats!

I had the same problem earlier this year, used Caldesene powder on my feet to dry up the skin, and walked around the house barefoot to toughen them up. Then I went and had my running gait re-checked and changed my shoes - Since March - No Blisters :)<BR/><BR/>Your track work out was great, although you were smoking yourself on the first 800, try and keep thme more even next time, and blast the last one :)Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608160362297371280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-1151265141540912022006-06-25T15:52:00.001-04:002006-06-25T15:52:00.001-04:00Jeanne's brain--and body--prove they have the toug...Jeanne's brain--and body--prove they have the toughness to finish the marathon.

Running on the elliptical can be akin to running on hills. <BR/><BR/>One thing you can do:<BR/><BR/>Rachet up the resistance to level 12 or 13. Keep the revolutions at 60 or above. Doing that for at least 45 minutes is a good workout. For a 2-hr workout, keep it to level 11 or 12 and keep the revolutions at 55 or above.<BR/><BR/>Here's another workout, an interval one: After warming up for 10 minutes at level 10 or so, raise the resistance level to 14 and keep the revolutions at 60 and run for 2 minutes. Recover another 2 minutes by lowering resistance level to 12 and revolutions at around 55. Continue with these reps until you've done at least 45 minutes. Cool-down 10 minutes.<BR/><BR/>Re lacross girls: They did NOT say that.

I can't imagine how those blisters will get better if you don't just let them be! In fact, when I was a teenager, wandering through Europe I got really bad blisters, kept on wandering and found myself with gaping ulcers in my feet. Now we don't want that, do we?<BR/><BR/>There is no problem with taking a week off. Many marathon programs are only 16 weeks long and you are way, way ahead of that curve.<BR/><BR/>As for the track times - SMOKIN'! According to Bart Yasso if you can do 10 of those repeats you are good for about a 5:10 marathon.<BR/><BR/>Now get your rest so you can get to 10!21st Century Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387240994756123669noreply@blogger.com
