Subject: RE: 14 Weeks to get a Sub-17 5K...help me.
Body:

I think if you keep training the way you've been training, you will easily break 17 very soon! Don't let running with faster guys (ie: sub-2) intimidate you. You can clearly hold your own. Lastly, I find the workouts that I hate most are the workouts that tend to be most beneficial to me (working on what's weak). When I was in college, I hated longer intervals/tempo runs, now I'm much stronger with the longer distances, but hate interval work (many of my fast gears as a youngster have diminished). So like you said, "I never do tempos because I hate them. I figure I'm forcing myself to do them by jumping into a few longer races to help prepare me for my goal races at the end of summer." Keep on at it no matter what the method, but definitely incorporate up-tempo work as much as you can. Good luck!
