Re: **Official Running Thread**
Howdy, runners! Long time since I have been around these parts. Love all the chatter, training idea, sharing of information and I am 100% onboard with changing the thread title to "Running with Laura". I MUCH prefer colder running temps, so this time of year is the worst for me. Speed work in these conditions is like running in mud and dying in pools of sweat. Gets so bad that my shoes feel like I was running in the rain.
Also, someone mentioned Pfitzinger training plans. I used those for my first couple of marathons and really liked them. There was Low, Moderate and High plans. There was a great mix of speed work, easy runs and long runs, with appropriate builds over the different cycles of training. Since it was my first go around with marathon training, I made all the mistakes and dealt with a slight injury as well. But I felt ready when I got to the start line to run the race I trained for and that is all you can hope for with during training, regardless of what the ultimate outcome is on race day.
