  • I started it a couple of weeks ago. I am going to start week 2 on Sunday. Haven't been able to consistantly do week 1 5-6 days a week, so I did that one for 2 weeks.

  • I am using Hal Higdon's 8k training program. I too had hit a wall and wanted to run further and longer and this is helping. I actually found an 8k race to run at the end of February. After I compete in this race, I will either doHal's 10K or his program to increase time in the 5k.
  • Mine are the same way. Usually Sunday is the day that kills me and I am not sure why. Sunday is a running day for me and I do chores around the house, so I am not just sitting around. This is the first weekend that I actually lost a little from Friday to Monday.
