Mike - Hartford Marathon Prep

Hi all! I just dropped my application in the mail and am getting ready for Oct 11! I am running with the Boulder Striders and will follow their marathon schedule. The Striders are just finishing a maintenance schedule with a group run, pylometrics and core work on Wednesdays. This AM we ran 3 x 4 min @70% effort 2 x 2 min @ 80% and 4 x 1 min @ 90%. We counted our turnover and I was exactly 180 steps/min! Our coach today was Colleen DeRueck. I never thought that I would have a world class runner for a coach. Maybe some of her speed will "rub off" on me!?
