That means you're doing it correctly. As you come to a stand still in pace progression it then becomes time to cut yourself loose and start doing tempo runs and short intervals like 200's, 300's and 400's at 5k effort. I feel the long tempo run is by far the most superior fitness stimulation you can implement. Once you do reach that plateau and have hovered at the same MAF pace for a couple or several weeks then start at ~4 miles at 2-8 beats below LT and build it every week (for ~4-6 weeks) up to 10 miles. It's awesome.. <br> With your diet- rather than use the scale to tell you that you are at a good weight, use performance as your guide. As you lose weight pay strict attention to MAF pace, PE, fatigue... all of these will decline once you cross over that ideal weight. I think it's better to be 1 pound too heavy than too light! I am trying to gain some weight back right now just so I can perform in training, my available fuel has been compromised from dieting. Just watch your training logs closely and look for patterns and consecutive poor performance.. <br> TLuchohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.com
