I have had an extended base mileage session due to some setbacks. I have now completed my 9th week of just mileage at 650-710 pace, 60mpw average.

The past few days my legs just feel unresponsive. I take days off and I don't force anything so I know im not overtrained.

I rarely do strides so maybe thats part of the problem but anyway I am going to start doing workouts this week coming up. Would tossing in an all out sprint session per week, say 10-12 sec. all out hills w/ full recov., "wake" my legs up and make them responsive again?

9 weeks without a day off is a long time. Take 1 day of full rest and then 2 days of very easy running like 7:30-8:00 pace of 5 miles and finish up with 6 X 30sec. strides on full recovery. Doing a lot of fast hill repeats, a shock to the system, will probably only tire you out more.

Thanks for an answer. I guess you know more about running than comprehending sentences."I take days off and I don't force anything so I know im not overtrained."
