Eit...Change comes to those who believe in yourself. Either if it's about to be successful in life or in any field of life. The thing that helps to succeed in life is only the belief in yourself and their hard work.

I know I should do it, but never make the effort. I really should change that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912856341617010190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-56202618838643415622017-05-23T05:17:04.741-07:002017-05-23T05:17:04.741-07:00We have just added speed work back in. But we also...We have just added speed work back in. But we also just started on a focused training plan (Ironman 70.3). We have mainly been doing our speed work just on our running route. I know there are benefits from a track workout, but I think the track is mentally harder for me. I am just going no where :) <br />But I think there is good qualities of doing speed work either way. And most importantly just doing the speed work in general.<br /><br />Happy Running :) Chelsea B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01262673435638182759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-80006328001168977062017-05-22T16:38:41.423-07:002017-05-22T16:38:41.423-07:00I really did think this would be a macro tracking ...I really did think this would be a macro tracking update at first (even WITH the photo).<br /><br />That said, I agree with pretty much everything you said. I love track workouts because I can SEE the end of my upcoming interval and really push hard in that time/space because I know when it'll be over and time to rest. My fastest miles are always on a track. <br /><br />But, I like that regular runs are more realistic and fresh. Which, is probably a good thing because I also have an issue with finding tracks that are available. There's a park walking distance from my aunt with a track. It's dirt and probably not the best maintained, but it's fully public and available. Why don't more parks have tracks???Bree at Clarity Definedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096737995080439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-11884468333727516322017-05-22T10:21:30.027-07:002017-05-22T10:21:30.027-07:00I am adding speed work back into my training plan ...I am adding speed work back into my training plan for my fall halfs. I didn't do a whole lot (if any!) during my training for the Dopey Challenge and only didn't a little bit for my spring 10 miler. I love doing speed work on a track - it helps me push myself, whereas on a run, like you said, I don't know how long I have to push myself and can give up more easily. I'm surprised you couldn't run on the tracks at the high schools. Any of the public schools tracks are open in the area I used to live at, and now I run at the University that I work at, but also my local running group rents every Tuesday evening.
