Total Weekly Mileage: 32
I bought several running books with a B & N giftcard that I got for Christmas. After some reading and pondering I have decided that I am going to stick to the "Run Less, Run Faster" concept. FLAB got me through CIM utilizing this plan and I think that it really worked for me. I am intrigued by how much mileage I can run during the week, but I also don't want to over train or get injured. I will always have a semi bad left knee so I tend to be more cautious when it comes to my mileage.
Questions for you:
Has anyone else had success with the "Run Less, Run Faster" training plan?

Hi Tasha,
ReplyDeleteI trained with RLRF last year for over the summer and I have to say that, I liked it in the beginning but after a while I just felt like I wasn't enjoying my runs anymore. There were days where I had it in me and others where I just couldn't think of running that fast. It's a great book and they have some good info. but plans aren't for everyone I guess. Always try it out though.
Have a great day!

Thanks for your advice Donna. I think that RLRF will be a good starting point for me, but I might go off some other plans as well.
