I'd guess they're pretty equivalent, but I haven't run long miles at Castlewood in 2 years and at Cuivre River in 7, so take that with a grain of salt.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-14886954355927615772018-02-26T13:10:09.325-06:002018-02-26T13:10:09.325-06:00I was curious which of the two runs between the Cu...I was curious which of the two runs between the Cup and Quads was worse?

HOpe you enjoy good food but treat yourself too because looks like you've earned it! :) <br /><br />I'm excited to see how your plan plays out! are you doing other cross training on the other days? If so, I think this can be enough...I've heard from others who are using this plan.Amanda@runninghoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389034066639666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-55255236173343042322011-01-10T09:27:04.683-06:002011-01-10T09:27:04.683-06:00I find that I can only wear a jacket when it is ra...I find that I can only wear a jacket when it is raining-even the "breathable" jackets don't breathe.

I only ask because just the other day we (the xc coaches at school) were talking about marathon training and this topic came up when one of the coaches wives used the "run less run far" program, which implements less mileage and focuses on key runs. Personally, we all felt it wasn't enough, so I am very excited in you proving us wrong :)!!! <br /><br />I used to work at REI - LOVED IT (why I quit is beyond me, and now I can't get back on) ... but they have a great return policy so just take the jacket back and say it couldn't breathe .. they'll give ya your money back! :) And get a jacket with some pit zips, perhaps?!?!?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-82111108577119647072011-01-09T11:17:17.665-06:002011-01-09T11:17:17.665-06:00My sister is a marathon runner and I so admire the...My sister is a marathon runner and I so admire the fortitude it takes to conquer those miles. <br /><br />Good luck with your training plan!
