solo joe, notice too that you did a really tough 10x600 workout just a few days before your race. and before you did a tough 1k workout just a few days before the race. although you're probably going for a later peak (and you were sick for this race), you'll obviously want to do only one relatively light fast workout (on tuesday for a saturday race) the week of your races. think of the race as your second fast workout that week. something like 1k, 800m, 400m, 300m, none of it ultra hard, on tuesday is probably good. you will see the benefits of the 10x600m NEXT WEEK, if you're healthy.



So a "light", "fast" workout on Tuesday and a mile race on Saturday is "probably good" ... because it's FEBRUARY?

You guys always crack me up. I thought that "solo joe" wanted to run sub-15:00? Maybe I am wrong, but if I am not, why so light training in Jan/Feb? If he is looking to run sub-4:00/sub-15:00 (probably at a later time -- May? June?) then he should be pushing it now.

But I would be running lots of miles now. I would run "hard" a lot of the time but not faster than 4:50 per mile pace. 5-10 mile runs at a continuous "hard" pace and maybe 800s at 2:20 and miles at 4:50 ... you can still race well off of these "threshold"-type workouts.
