I recently did a month of pool running and elliptical (not nearly as much as you, probably in the 50ish mpw range) -- today I had my first "track workout" and low and behold I am only 5 secs/mile off of my mile pace and about 15 secs off of my 400-800 pace - with some lack of stamina. And, I was able to get back up to 60 mpw in about 4 weeks. <br /><br />My coach said, "there are those people who put in the work and they are able to get back more quickly". <br /><br />Keep it up!! I, like Julie is going to, still do pool running a couple days/week. I enjoy my books on tape, I have listened to many BBC radio mysteries!<br /><br />Good luck,<br />BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-18266725202926480802010-11-30T13:07:42.376-08:002010-11-30T13:07:42.376-08:00Thanks, y'all.
I asked my coach about addin...Thanks, y'all. <br /><br />I asked my coach about adding some easier intervals into my other days. EMPHATICALLY nixed. :). And since the whole reason for shifting to him was to apply the brakes that I can't seem to do myself, that means no extra interval sessions.AKA Darkwave, AKA Anarcha, AKA Cris.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09873516028463495708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-53397328836124171842010-11-29T14:11:30.681-08:002010-11-29T14:11:30.681-08:00Wow, I agree with Elizabeth. 3 HOUR pool run?

Congrats on a tough run!<br /><br />I am though, sold on the ratio, I have noticed vast improvement for me personally, since switching two weekly days from "running" to "pool running". It seemed daring at first, but I'm set with it now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-70277343050775012732010-11-29T14:04:13.988-08:002010-11-29T14:04:13.988-08:00Wow!

My coach uses a 1:...I'm not sold on 1:1 either. My coach uses a 1:1.5 ratio: for example, if you normally do an 8 mile recovery run in 70 minutes, the equivalent is 105 minutes in the pool.<br /><br />I don't do any recovery effort running in the pool. Coach says you can do hard stuff every day in the pool and recover because there's no impact. <br /><br />This explains why running three hours is unfathomable to me. I did two hours at 75-80% with 20 minutes of 30 second surges and it was one of the most exhausting workouts I've done in any environment in recent memory.<br /><br />After three months, I have mixed feelings about pool running. I've made peace with having to do it (and I'll be doing it 3x a week once I'm totally over my injury). Some days I even find it meditative and immensely satisfying. Others, it's just time I'm killing and it's a big drag. You'll probably have the same highs and lows.<br /><br />I'm glad you're enjoying the Round Table podcasts, although I'm surprised about the multiple listens. I'm also so glad you started a blog -- we need more worthy voices out there.Juliehttp://raceslikeagirl.comnoreply@blogger.com
