Not soft

"There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people."
Bill Bowerman

Do they have this kind of weather in Oregon?

UPDATE
Got in 11 miles this morning, including 7 at LT pace. Laps:

  1. 0.61 - 3:42
  2. 1.00 - 6:20
  3. 0.50 - 3:03
  4. 1.00 - 6:08
  5. 0.50 - 3:11
  6. 0.50 - 3.03
  7. 1.00 - 6:15
  8. 0.50 - 2:56
  9. 1.00 - 6:05
  10. 0.50 - 2:58

The clinic was reserved for physical therapy continuing eduation program, so we couldn't do the official version there, but I put a slightlty modified version together at home. It was comprised of:
  • Treadmill for recovery
  • Pushups
  • Single leg toe touches
  • Situps
  • Single leg squats
  • Side bridge, raising and lowering hips
  • Clams

Wed: LT & Strength Circuit Training

Did a six mile LT with Sweney at 6:00 and followed it with the strength circuit at the clinic. Great workout. Sweney looked pretty darn good for laying off the tempo runs for a few months.

Here are my laps for an average of 3:04:

3:10, 3:02, 3:05, 3:06, 3:08, 3:00, 3:06, 2:58, 2:54, 3:10, 3:04

The strength circuit preview revealed a nice addition to the plan. If you are interested in the research behind the idea, check out the following blog post titled Bannister Training II. This guy coincidentally linked to the same study that Bill ran across recently from a different source.
