Running- Stick to the plan!

Running has been going well.  E Pace runs focussing on cadence have been bread and butter over the past 6-7 weeks.  Cadence has been consistently in mid 90s and feels good.


Yesterday thought it might be a good idea to do The Dish to simulate speed skills durning a 10ml run.
Not a good idea!  Keep it simple stupid!  
Legs felt achy and had a moment of RLL pain scary similar to last fall.  Although ITB likely the culprit of this Leg pain best to be safe.  Stick with the plan!
Found this on Slowtwitch.  It really sums up what has work for me in the past and should be the direction for this coming season.

My running program summed up in 3 pointsQuote | Reply

1 - run easy
2 - run a lot
3 - add 1 or 2 moderately intense race specific workouts as races approach


3 is the tricky part, but if its all confusing for you, your best bet is a tempo run (run kinda hard for 20-60 minutes) and a tempo run of a different variety (slower and longer or shorter and a little fatser).

In either case, consistencey is the key.
