Oh no, speed sessions are my least fave runs. Don't mind hills, and love lsr's. Especially on a quiet winter morning, out before sun up, watch it rise over the gas works, home in time for bath and lunch. Although methinks that training for an ultra will be more like home in time for a bath and supper!!

speed sessions are kinda important-coz if you never run faster..then you never run faster!!

My 'two-penneth' on speed sessions running slow for a long time is easier if your form and efficiency are top draw, running fast is pretty much the best wayt to improve your form and efficiency.

LLB, i started using a coach last year to help me get to marathon and Then through the other 8 halfs i did last year. I'm one of those people who trains better if i know someone is holding me accountable. He has pushed me to do things i wouldnt have done. Not expensive, and definitely worth it.

Beer mile! Speedwork... yes!

Lirish - I had a shocker! ended up very dehydrated through my own stupidity and say at Dam Nation aid station for well over 2 hours repairing the damage I had done. Got up and set about running a sub 20 whilst still catching up on some much needed drink and when that was no longer feasible I just lost the motivation to run hard, stuck a jacket on and walked it in for the buckle. Learned a huge amount, came away un injured and can't wait to get on to the next one though.

Spen - What do you need my opinion on? The benefits of speed work? Why you should drink when running around a forest in Texas? Is GU really a good breakfast?
