My goal of sub 4:00 1500-I will not stop until I reach my goal.

Saying with the 1500? Not knocking on ya, just thought you might find some nice success in road racing. I guess the track is still in your blood. Good luck

ahahaha just realized someone changed the title to "I will not poop until I reach my goal."

Best of luck to you, Eddy.

I think you need to stay focused on the track not the road. The 33 minute 10k runner that your training with is not thinking about running track. You ran about five road races, while I was trying to develop your speed endurance. Your 5k drop from 16:22 to 15:59 without working on the 5k. Last week, I see you just ran a (34:14) 10k. It's track season, why are you still road racing. In August you ran 8 x 600 in 1:52 and the last one ran in 1:35 easy. Do the math 1:35 x 2 = a 3:10/1200 meters. I still think you can run 3:50 this year, but you need to stay focused. I ran a 3:08.1/1200 and I was 43 years old. You are only 23 years old so train hard and stay off run fast.

JOE!!!

I had a crazy workout on Monday after a nice controlled race over the weekend in Northridge.

This past Monday:

1.5mile w/u

4x200+200jog

3x800+800jog

1x600 FAST

c/d

Times: 31,33,33,34...trying to loosen up for the 800s

215,215,213

1:30 (30,30,30) even splits!!

I finally got my confidence back, and the medium-long hard sessions on the roads are paying off.

I'd love for you to coach me again. I needed a mental break from last year as I didn't take a break at all from track to xc....why I pulled away.

What do you say? Shoot me an email.

I hope you're running well and healthy, Joe.

thread was at post 1666... couldn't have that

Eddy,

I understand about taking a mental break from training and racing. In August, the weather is 95 to 107 degress staning in the shade. The central valley weather is no joke, over the summer. That is why, I told you to stay foce this summer. Fresno State used to have summer track meets in 106 degrees. Running 50 miles a week in the valley, is like running 70 miles in LA or Oakland. I will try and call you at home.

Eddy,

Give us a wild-man report. Where are you?

Totals 101.8

no great tempo or track work this week but a lot of good quasi-marathon pace stuff on my easy runs. get the easy run pace down close to 6 frequently and the times will drop. incidentally, the fast guy I've done some easy runs with recently dropped a solo, untapered first marathon in 2:26 over the weekend, not even drinking anything until near the end.

Eddie - we need a Wild Man Report - what ya up to?

Eddy - we need a report darn it..... Check in with us now.

I ran 4:00.xx two weeks ago at CSU Northridge. Ill be racing again on April 9.

I was en route to by far my best 5k ever on a treadmill, was 2 minutes away from finishing in around 17:30, when I strained my right calf...ouch!!! I stopped running, jogged a bit, and then ran out the remainder at 6:00 pace.

Today my calf is very sore but getting better. I'm going to have to take a break, and am now running vicariously through Eddy Lee.

Go Eddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see you only ran a 4:07.3> 1500 last year at CSU Northridge. Eddy the great, are you training harder this year?

Go Eddy! Sub 3:50 this year!!

Not harder really...just watching this before every run.

haha

I definitely have a much bigger base than last year, running 2x as many miles/week than last year, only running 2(maybe 3) hard sessions/week, and putting an emphasis on keeping the hard days HARD and easy days EASY. I'm coached by Joe Carnegie, Genesis Sub 2 Running Club based in Fresno, CA.

So Eddy are you finding it harder to train while in the real world Vs. College? Would assume that there might be some adjustments you have to make, or are you still in school?
