Friday on my mind
Big day ahead for this coach. We have our second day of the conference indoor track meet tonight, and our boys team right now sits in second place. If we race big tonight we could pull off the first conference title, Lee has had in ANY sport in years. It's my first full year coaching at Lee, and I am "only" an assistant for the distance runners.

Think of them as a reward for the hard work you have done, for putting yourself in a position to succeed. In this case, they might make the difference.
Just don’t think of them as a silver bullet.

Good read, especially if you find yourself in a slump right now. Sometimes looking in the mirror is what you need to do most.

The underlying principle of any training program, regardless of your goal or ability, should be the development of a solid aerobic base. It
Food for thought: if you're having trouble getting faster, despite all the intervals, fartleks, tempo runs, etc., maybe slow down your easy runs, then slow them down some more.
