I’m actually getting pretty excited about running Broad Street in a few weeks. There’s always a lot of anticipation surrounding the event that you’ve prepared long and sweat hard for. However, this year vs. three years ago my training program has me in line to achieve my objective. I’m feeling lighter, stronger and faster while previous injuries seem to be kept in check as a result of regular preventive activities. I ran my 5.5 mile B-Route today at a moderate pace, comfortably 1.5 minutes faster than a couple weeks ago; 45:40. Now to plan out the final 3 weeks of training. I’ve been thinking of skipping any additional 10+ mile efforts in favor of adding additional frequency for a couple weeks. The long distance the only injuries I’ve really suffered in the past few months, bruises and blisters. We’ll see how it goes…Any suggestions?
