I am going to have to try this recipe for BBQ sauce. I have one that is not quite as good as this one sounds but I make it all the time.

Comment on 3 Track Workouts Guaranteed to Kick Your Ass by Deveree

Great post! In the past I've always been inconsistent with doing speed work while training, but this year I'm committed to sticking to it.. I've always done Yasso's so I love these new ideas. I also appreciate that you talk about how hard speed work is to get through- I always I'm convinced I'm dying by the end.

Your post about the 4-minute mile and the power of our thinking was amazing too! I had been thinking about how much I want to qualify for Boston this year… after reading that post my thinking has now changed to "I will qualify for Boston this year." (Hence the commitment to speed work).

Matt, This post was very inspirational. I find myself a little sad that I am simply going out for a run tonight. I am thirsty for a track to do the last workout you mentioned. Anywhere near me in the city of Baltimore that you know has a track?

Yeah, I saw that earlier – I want to play around with it to see if I can get it to be firmer.

Great blog btw – lots of useful info for a newer runner!

great and funny post about coffee- yeah it depletes your adrenals – also coffee and sorry to say even de-cafe are acidic and promote an acidic environment in your body – which is terrible for athletes- better to switch to green tea – yerba matte for caffeine or when I have a coffee itch – I brew up a pot of Teeccino – does the trick and caffeine free ! give up the Joe and in about 2 weeks you'll have more energy than ever! I love coffee and had a french press of Peets french roast every day- no mas- I do miss it but like how I feel much better

Nice post! I really appreciate the special tidbit "one lap is 400m." For some reason that was extreme insider information I had never figured out before.

I may try the first one(#3) out as it seems most attainable for me. Right now I don't incorporate any speed portions into my runs- my runs are all jogs I suppose.

Do you remember any of your track workouts from when you were beginning? I would be really interested!

Comment on What We Mortals Can Learn From the 4-Minute Mile by Kara (@ Kara's Marathon)

I need some certainty that I will find a career path that I love. I started a certificate program (2, actually) this year that will hopefully move me in the right direction, but I'm still scared I'm going to need to go back to school for a "real" degree before I can make the change I want. It's awfully frustrating.
