6 miles The other end of switching the Hanson's workouts was the one I figured would be a good fit - running fast on the track. This is the first week of school, so we were not sure when the security would be opening the gates for us. I arrived at 5:30 am to warmup, … Continue reading The Hanson’s Intervals at track
8miles. Tuesday mornings, I am usually running up and down the Blue Heron Bridge. As of late, I began doing the Hanson's program recommended strength workout for Advanced Half Marathon.

This was Daniel's first time, now he knows the way. He is doing the Hanson's Marathon Method for the Green … Continue reading Palm Beach summers
5mi. There will be a time when I can't run on a private track, shower on premise, and walk barefoot across perfectly manicured fairway-grade lawn to stretch out my toes. But that's not today! I have been in marathon training for months. That means plenty of runs, never that fast, but no true speed or … Continue reading Marathon vs 5k
