I think you've done A LOT of training and now you're maybe reaching a new fitness level. I say enjoy it!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553067128072502179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-21258530590467180812010-09-13T18:59:17.037-07:002010-09-13T18:59:17.037-07:00I think runs where I perform better than I intende...I think runs where I perform better than I intended are the most rewarding.<br /><br />Wish I could give you advice about feeling off.

You are reaping the rewards of consistent training and your body is responding accordingly. <br /><br />Don't worry though you will have a couple of down days too! I do not mean this in a bad way - just that your body has reached a new level and that it will eventually strive for even a higher level. BUT in order to reach this next higher level it will have to be torn down again just so it can come back even stronger. <br /><br />Just remember this (I have trouble with it) and do not be too hard on yourself when you are having trouble holding a 9:30/mi pace. It is all part of the process - your body will have highs and lows, just try to keep you mind centered.<br /><br />Now the key is to find the right training plan to prepare for the next peak right at your "A" race!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-35809739406677135452010-09-12T13:13:37.548-07:002010-09-12T13:13:37.548-07:00Consistency man.

Yay you!<br />I've had a similar experience with running. It seemed like overnight I got significantly faster and I couldn't point to anything specific that triggered it. But week after week my splits stayed consistent at the new speed, so I've started to trust that I really am this fast now.<br />Keep up your good work!!Pahlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276879379865126005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-3812009111825783802010-09-12T10:42:56.735-07:002010-09-12T10:42:56.735-07:00Interesting.
