Training July 18-24

Posted on July 28, 2010 by threlkeld

The adventure continues. As does the heat wave. This past week was typical of what I’ll be doing in the coming weeks: speedwork and lots of progression runs. I didn’t cross-train as much as I’d hoped to, but I’m working on making biking and weight work more of a priority. I also got my first [...]
