I also really really need to get better about nutrition and fueling, lately I've been realizing how big of a difference it makes. Lastly, I usually run (well, when I'm not injured) about 3 or 4 days a week. That's what works for me so here's to hoping a "lighter" load helps you feel better!Karahttp://kararuns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-52096992008508257352013-03-22T12:21:17.632-04:002013-03-22T12:21:17.632-04:00Love it.

And building this all in now is great for when you start marathon training. <br />I love my training plan at the moment I'm logging the miles + strength. Need to do more stretching though and core work.<br />But my biggest is really focusing on not eating so much. Simple as not bringing it into the house for me - mindless munching must stop!

I've been following my coach's plan since November-ish, and the results are definitely noticeable, especially in terms of my swim. I also totally agree with you about yoga.

I figure having a long run, speedwork, and a short run in there is good enough for me right now. Strength training has helped me so much! Emilyhttp://www.emilyruns.comnoreply@blogger.com
