Since you told us na may tinatago kang inumin doon, basta na punta kami ng ayala-alabang on saturday, hanapin ko yon . Makikiinum din ako na di mo alam.

Banggi, I don't have strong knees! I'm always paranoid about injuring my left knee again. I just increase my distance gradually :) Armand, congrats with the Suunto! Glad you chose that over the Nike+ haha :) Tina, yeah, I think I should've gone a little bit slower. Hope to see you again at Mizuno! Caloyb, hindi ko ata kaya!

So far i'm happy running with it (sans the music). Well good luck on your choice of HRM. Keep on running Bullruner Hi Jaymie,

As they say, long slow runs will make you a slow runner. I'm trying not to focus too much on my speed right now as I want to go for a marathon next year. But still I do want to incorporate some speed work, tempo runs, and all those other stuff in between. Aah, I should do a lot more reading or just get a coach to prepare my program. Shoes: Go for Mizuno. The shoes are great (i love my wave creations!) and the store personnel know what they're talking about (they wont just sell the top-of-the-line). Tell her she can email me and I can help her get a discount :) Rick, thanks for the tips! As they say, long slow runs will make you a slow runner.

I have a friend who is giving running a try. She's in Manila. I told her to get some proper shoes, preferably from a good store staffed by runners. She doesn't know what she wants and need some guidance, not just a store clerk who will sell her whatever. Any recommendations? P.S. this is unrelated but I thought you and maybe Ben would know.

I met him in person at a marathon clinic, he is so humble and supportive. Two thumbs up for Galloway. No laughing but clapping, yay! I read George's post and he's right. There is some controversy on LSDs. From my experience LSDs work, they just can't be your primary way of training. If all you do is long, slow distance then that's what you'll get in your races. Track is important as well as mixing up some work in the LSDs. I used to do only LSD's. Last year I switched to LSD's that were shorter but with mixed in hill repeats, tempo work and lactate threshold work - the improvement was phenomenal. I got a workout schedule from a fellow ultra-marathoner who was coached by a well known runner. Still though, for recovery or taper workouts I'll go on a nice long run, slower but more enjoyable. Some of that long distance training will make you faster. You'll be able to hold a good pace for longer. Nutrition will play a more important role too. If you're not choking down energy gels now I'd recommend looking into them when your long runs are taking you 1.5 hours and longer. What an exciting development in your running! The only big drawback is that you will wear out your shoes faster. I was a Galloway diciple when I used to do marathons. I met him in person at a marathon clinic, he is so humble and supportive.
