Plan developed by Mindy Solkin, owner and head coach of The Running Center in New York City.
We’re taking a break from speed and hill intervals this week to allow your body time to recover — and to help you get ready for the increased mileage of your training plan. In fact, your long run this week edges up to 8 miles; by now you should be able to comfortably cover this distance and finish feeling strong. Remember to keep your intensity at a level you can handle, and don’t forget to cross train on at least two of your "off" days.
