Since Boston, I am falling into the same rut I did last year that if I don’t have a training plan I just wander around with no logic to my training. So I am ending that by starting up on my training for the Baystate half marathon in October with an 18 week plan that starts 06/20.
I am committed to cross training so I am going to follow the FIRST method of 3 quality runs and cross train the other days. I am getting an AQUAVEE pool trainer that will let me swim laps in my pool. My pool is a 26 foot octagon so I can’t swim laps and this product will allow me to. I am still using the TRX and like that a lot so the plan is to do a 20-30 minute TRX circuit then swim for 30 minutes.
To start getting ready for the training I need to start hitting the track and hill repeats. So this Wednesday night I will head to the track for some 400m repeats. I need to get ready for the Bridgeton 4 on the 4th race and I would like to run that in 31 minutes or less.
Cheers,
Tim

It's great to have a plan and I agree that the 3 day is one of the best out there for runners who need rest between tough workouts and the cross training fills in the gap. I was doing that but I became lax on the cross training part. funny because my upper body did not suffer in my race....only my legs did.
Kevin, I am in Maine 07/02 through 07/10 and I would love to TRY to get together for a run if you are going to be around.
Go Derv Go -- I know that without having a race to train for it's difficult to maintain that intensity and discipline. Kudos to you!
