What amazed me about your article is that it completely confirmed everything I did over the past year, when I decided that volume training was getting me nowhere, after 10 years of running. Also, I had suffered from Aquiles tendonitis for most of that time and last year was my first without the injury (I finally realized that it was being caused by the 2-3% incline I kept using in my treadmill). <br><br> <br><br>To recover from AT, I stopped running in March and started biking (after more than 5 years off) which got me really motivated to loose weight in order to beat my biking buddies. By September 2009, I went back to running and by October, was celebrating my new injury-free status by making almost very run, a speed-intervals one. By November, the weight loss and the speed intervals allowed me to run my first below-45 10K race. <br><br> <br><br>All this time, I thought I had discovered a better training method! Now, with your article, I realized that is not the case, but feel vindicated to continue developing it to full potential. My next goal is to incorporate my new "easy-run" 7 minute pace into a weekly long-run and hopefully bring the easy-pace down to 6.40 before my next marathon on April 11. Before getting there, I know my speed-intervals will need to reach at least a 6 minute pace, which I hope to accomplish by the middle of March.<br><br> <br><br>Congratulations on your article and specially on your training methods, starting from your "available-time" theory, which is the most common-sense building block I have come across in any training program!<br><br> <br><br>Regards,<br><br>Oswaldo<br><br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br>_________________________________________________________________<br>Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection.<br><a href="http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469227/direct/01/" rel="nofollow">http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469227/direct/01/</a> I was initially drawn to your website because of an article you wrote for Active Thriathlete “5 Keys of Long-Course Triathlon Training–Part II”.

Congratulations on your article and specially on your training methods, starting from your “available-time” theory, which is the most common-sense building block I have come across in any training program!

After some 10 years of running at 8 to 8.5 minute pace, I was able to drop to 7, after dropping 22 pounds. Presently, I am doing intervals at 6:40 with the hope of achieving that speed in my next 10K on February 28th, 2010 It turns out my personal experience over the past 6 months exactly matches what you are saying.
