Love it.<br /><br />Oh yeah speedwork. I love to hate it, but there is nothing like it to improve your fitness level in all sports. Intensity is definitely missing from my plan, and I am changing that for IMLP training... I hate it most on the swim (obviously given my latest swim times). BUT I plan on using them a lot in the build/peak leading to IMLP for sure.Caratunk Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042653100322091843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-5278181913459231022010-09-09T07:13:56.107-05:002010-09-09T07:13:56.107-05:00Nice post!

I need to get that book or a website. <br /><br />For the past 4 weeks (since I started my HR training plan) my own prescribed running intervals have been 3 or 4 miles ...going hard every other half mile.<br /><br />-DerekDRoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126561738590093533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-30463191259793894492010-09-08T14:51:06.370-05:002010-09-08T14:51:06.370-05:00For you young bucks

Alot of people are afraid of speed workouts because of the pure pain of them. Alot of atheltes are real good at going at moderate pace for a long time, but few will venture to the "pain cave" to get faster. You hear too often that to get better at s/b/r you need to s/b/r, but you will hit that wall eventually were you need to push your self past the norm to get better.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-78272904243574942792010-09-08T11:01:10.712-05:002010-09-08T11:01:10.712-05:00Love speed work.

My legs are trashed and I am afraid of injury.<br /><br />When I do speed work I mess my back up and get shin splints or knee pain really bad. Poor form? Possibly... 200+ pound guy sprinting and pounding the joints... more likely haha.<br /><br />Good luck man.
