Sorry for not replying sooner, but I wasn't able to catch any of the races. It is hard for me to find tv time these days.
Anyway, I am doing well and have run more than 50km each of the past two weeks, so I am just about ready to start in on a training program. I have a question though. I am looking to be in peak condition by the end of September (Sept 29th, most likely). That's about five months away. Should I jump into the training schedule now, or wait a few weeks so I won't be burnt out by that point?
My original plan was to run a 4k time trial next Saturday and start the training the following Tuesday (May 15). But a look at the calendar makes me wonder if I should just continue doing long runs for a few more weeks and wait to jump back in. What do you think?
