RAncho,
Oh yeah, the 6-7 mi LT is awesome for me. It's one of two workouts that tell me when I both mentally and physically just about ready to go. I use the Daniels' workout as something different, but it has a similar effect mentally. It really "hardens your shell" I really like Pfitz's plans. I'm not much of a track guy anymore, so the LT and MP pace training is better for my chances of staying healthy. I still get a couple of vo2max workouts in, but don't focus on them as much as I do the others.
I'm back. I flew the red-eye out to Vegas, inhaled some cigarette smoke, and then boarded the 12:15am flight to Seattle on Monday night. I spent the next two plus days pleasing the client. The client is pleased. I squeezed in my runs and other than a know in my shoulders, I survived physically. I spent most of today en route back to Boston.
Film at 11.
I am from Boston. If you all tell me the flavor of the kind of place you'd like to have for a post-race fun fest, I'll suggest where we should meet.
Channel 4 has been the most reliable over the past several months. So here's their best guess:
A high pressure system will govern our weather for the next 7 days! Initially, its center is roaming southeastward across Quebec. The clockwise flow of air around this area of high pressure will transfer chilly air from the Atlantic into New England via a brisk northeasterly wind. Eventually as the high pressure system sprawls over the region during the weekend, the wind will subside to a lighter seabreeze and switch to a land breeze commencing a warming trend on Sunday. In fact, temperatures which initially will max out several degrees below the average of 55 for this time of the year will steadily climb through the weekend and max out 25 degrees above the average at or just above 80 degrees by next Wednesday.
The only tricky portion of this prediction is determining Boston's temperature for Marathon Monday. The dilemma is attributed to the questionable positioning of a "backdoor cold front". If this front weakens and hangs over Maine, there will be a 10-15mph tail wind yielding a warm 70-75 degrees from Heartbreak Hill into the city from 3-5pm. On the other hand, if that front maintains momentum and drops in over the coastal plain, the runners will face a shift to a head wind somewhere in the last 10 miles of the course and enjoy a cooldown on the approach to the finish line where the temperature would drop to the lower 50s to upper 40s. Subsequent forecasts over the weekend should become more defining on this predicament. Clearly, a match of last year's heat (86 degrees) will not happen until a day or 2 later. Thereafter, the wedge of warmth will get a shove next Wednesday night from an advancing cold front which could, after many dry days, trigger some welcome showers for the thirsty landscape.
