HS=Hill sprints MP= Marathon Pace (7:20) Tempo=(7:00 or faster)
If anyone has an suggestions with training let me know. I'm still fairly new at this and I'm always opened to some ideas.
I guess I should have explained rest a bit more, I take rest days when I know I feel like I need them-Mondays will morph into rest days or cross training days (I'll do what I believe is about equal to that amount of miles)when I know I'm feeling tired. In my past life as a college runner, we rarely took a rest day but instead put an easy day of mileage in.
This plan is not set in stone, training plans always morph.
