  • Thanks, I didn't know there was long distance runners group. Also, thanks for other comments.....yes, I do put in lots of long slow runs....at least one long run on the weekends. And I try to do speed stuff twice a week....and try to do hill work once per week too. Thinking I might be overdoing it.
