Training philosophy
"Put away your watch, stop counting miles and start listening to the body. Our bodies will tell us more accurately how fast and far to run than a watch or training log ever can. And our bodies will warn us when we're courting disaster - injury or overtraining - long before our minds are willing to accept the premise. More importantly, when we learn to listen to our bodies, we learn how to race."

That was a great podcast. Especially the advice to put away the watch and run to how you feel on the easy days - 12 minutes slower for 7 miles!
Also the part about stride length falling away with age. How true. I'm going to hit the drills after Melbourne.
If your thinking of running on the track in the coming months why not follow Pete Magill's 5 k training program;http://petemagill.blogspot.com/2009/02/peter-magill-event-training-5k-road.html
And do the drills for sure!
I think there is a much faster Ewen inside you, waiting to come out!
I hope so Rick.
It really hit home how short the stride length was of most older runners when I was watching the Vets' track meet last night.
I'm sure drills (and short hill sprints) will make a positive difference.
