The rest of 2011 - between marathons

[marathondan]

Looks like a great plan, Sweder. Ticking off the sessions is a real motivator, even if it's just a list pinned to the fridge (Guiness repository) door. I think intervals of some kind are the key to building strength and speed, but your undulating hills should give you that.

Out for another short loop tonight, I took Sweder's advice and did the last 300m or so barefoot, just picking up my shoes and socks and jogging on with them in hand. I'm not too concerned about barefoot in the dark, the terrain is pretty stone-free. Startled a couple of rabbits; I think chasing them across the open field would make a good interval session. Waiting to see if I spot any other wildlife.
