Somehow, The Marathon Returned - comments welcome!

I was watching the recording of last Tuesday's Zoom and I thought that might be you. Congrats and welcome to the team!

Oh, and BTW, the progression walk that I commented about is a Chris Twiggs workout. If you are interested, you can ask him to add that to your calendar as well.

Thanks! He mentioned it as possible cross training as well.

I finally signed up for Galloway Customized Training! I

I am still considering it, but too much travel this month to start yet. I'm very interested to hear how you like it!

Yes, it usually takes the place of a cross-training day. I've actually tweaked it from time to time and, if I don't have time to get in a full four miles, I will use the same concept for whatever time that I have - i.e. if I can do 2 miles, I do 1/2 mile at each pace or if I have 40 minutes, I'll do 10 minutes at each pace. For me, it keeps the walking interesting because I feel like there is a purpose and a goal to the workout.

This is why I usually walk on the treadmill, so I can vary paces/inclines and make it interesting. Glad to hear your tweak the workout because I definitely don't have time to walk four miles at a time during the week, but I can do 30-45 minutes!

So far, I'm enjoying it, but I'm only a week in! Ask me again at the end of August when I have a 17 mile training run and end of September when I do 20.

I am feeling the same. 10mi on Sunday and 6mi today. Not excited about the 16 and 6 or the 20 and 8 that are on my schedule for July and August.

Either I've officially become the grizzled veteran or I'm just looking at this through rose colored glasses from the injured reserve sidelines, but I saw these and went "oh, those distances aren't that bad." I suspect that it's both!
