Thought on the run: Whoever said you need to recover 1 day for every mile you raced is way off. If you need a week to bounce back from a 10K you may need another hobby for now.
I totally agree! Although I don't have your speed or stamina I find that more than a day or two of no running leaves me itching to hit the pavement, whether I've done 2 or 20 miles in the day(s) before. Keep up your inspiring posts Brian! You rock!

If this were true I would spend most of my time recovering! Ready for the weekend?

I think it depends on how you define racing. While I mostly agree I also know that too much too soon leads to injury. Don't ask me how I know.

Heh, Greg in your case it may be how you define recovery!
