That is so frustrating. I hope the prednisone helps at least, and good thing it didn't increase your appetite! But your plan looks solid (looks like a Hal plan to me) and I can't wait to read all about it!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517428815573698474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-61288511644712192292011-07-21T19:08:05.249-04:002011-07-21T19:08:05.249-04:00I slam back the Gu like a college freshman at a fr...I slam back the Gu like a college freshman at a frat house. I used to gag on it, but I've moved past that and now it goes down just fine. I actually looked at the same training plan, but I'm really far too lazy to do more than 8 on my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-17650720396521572102011-07-21T13:31:36.036-04:002011-07-21T13:31:36.036-04:00Gu tip: squeeze some in your mouth and try to swal...Gu tip: squeeze some in your mouth and try to swallow in one clump (like a pill). Don't slosh it around your mouth like a fine wine. <br /><br />Wash it down with a ton of water and you'll be good :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506087947077839388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-6930495777958873752011-07-21T13:29:45.473-04:002011-07-21T13:29:45.473-04:00Tempo runs = run one mile easy and then run the mi...Tempo runs = run one mile easy and then run the middle miles at a pace that feels just slightly too hard (you can't have a conversation) and then run one mile easy to wrap it up.<br /><br />800s are just a fancy way of saying half a mile. You don't have to do them at the track, but fancy people do. <br /><br />Is Pippi getting bigger? She seems taller to me.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506087947077839388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-40536693142396019422011-07-21T12:04:21.316-04:002011-07-21T12:04:21.316-04:00your 5k plan looks awesome!!

For example, this is how I would interpret a "40 min tempo run": 10 mins nice and easy, 20 mins tempo pace then 10 mins nice and easy.<br /><br />For the speedwork you just have to run the distance at the pace provided. So a 4X800 at 5k pace means you run 2 laps at the track at 5k pace 4 times with either walking/jogging between each 800. <br /><br />I hope that helps! :) The training plan looks great! <br /><br />I can't wait to hear what you think about Gu...it makes me sick to my stomach :( But I LOVE Hammer Gel which is basically the same thing.
