I&#39;m particularly interested about wht you have learned about the &quot;base phase&quot;:<br />1. With several iterations of experience, are you approaching your long run differently than during your first Lydiard build-up? <br />2. Have you found an optimal length for your 3/4 effort each week? <br />3. What % of your MHR-Resting HR do you run your 1/4 efforts at?<br /><br />Any advice would be appreciated.Lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16781014.post-37618944629258009222009-06-25T23:56:20.279-07:002009-06-25T23:56:20.279-07:00And I was just about to substitute Rick for you as the Lydiard expert ;)<br /><br />I hope it goes well Mike - looking forward to following your progress.Ewenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16781014.post-14461176880761346112009-06-25T16:46:35.058-07:002009-06-25T16:46:35.058-07:00Thanks for the comments. Come on Michael, you&#39;ll be craving some California sunshine come December, won&#39;t you?<br /><br />Thomas, Kiera was certainly right. There is some perverse pleasure in getting into shape during the worst weather of the year, isn&#39;t there? From your posts it seems you have the worst weather about 11 months of the year.<br /><br />Mark, I haven&#39;t counted out the weeks, but 24 is close. It should be a fairly simple and pedestrian training cycle, but maybe with a little less emphasis on trying to reach a sharp peak. Instead I&#39;ll keep gradually ratcheting up while keeping the volume at a sustainable level. Evaluations and recovery will be necessary, and hopefully I&#39;ll just keep getting fitter as I go along.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10573945547139938065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16781014.post-32802473853051043882009-06-25T16:35:18.626-07:002009-06-25T16:35:18.626-07:00I&#39;d never let your place in the blog feed go Mike!

Kiera was right when she dismissed your statement that you would not be training through the Tucson summer again (no surprise here).Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16781014.post-40215101316948291302009-06-24T20:09:42.900-07:002009-06-24T20:09:42.900-07:00CIM, good for you! I&#39;m happy to hear that your running is coming around and that the &quot;will&quot; is still there. As for the race, good luck! At least I can say that you won&#39;t pass me this time around... I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if I go back there next (2010) December. Regardless, have fun and keep running.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14441387101727202416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16781014.post-75943441259112420582009-06-24T13:49:10.071-07:002009-06-24T13:49:10.071-07:00good to have you back Mike. looking forward to that Dec appointment. best of luck in the train-up and stay injury-free.Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05492885166534094387noreply@blogger.com
