My original plan for the three-runs-a-week was to do speed-work for the first two runs and then work on increasing distance for the third one. But I’ve been finding the speed work so hard that I’ve been dreading the workouts. Dread is not conducive to success; while I am interested in trying to get faster, I’m not really willing to sacrifice the overall goal of running three times – which is what will happen if I wimp out and not run just because I don’t want to do the speed-work.<\/p>\n

\"handsIt is important to have goals, but it’s also important to be willing to revise your goals. Obviously, replacing “exercise regularly” with “sit on the couch regularly” is not a reasonable revision, but that doesn’t mean that some changes aren’t perfectly appropriate.<\/p>\n

So, I still want to improve my times, but I’m not going to do it by doing speed-work. I’ve decided to focus on increasing my distances, in the hope that the resulting improvements to my overall conditioning will end up making me faster. And if in the end it doesn’t? Well, I’ve still been running, which is a lot more than what I was doing before I started all this, and that’s nothing to sneeze at.<\/p>\n

So, have you revisited your goals lately?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
