I think anyone who does long runs on treadmills — or while on vacation, for that matter — is a total badass! Keeping my fingers crossed that your calf behaves for you!

I should have referred back to the NYC site when looking at plans. I ended up changing over to the Chicago plan which is Nike based. We do long runs and drop back to 14.

I have not seen the plan with the 10 mile scale back long runs every other week, but it sounds interesting. I am behind on NYC training due to my calf injury, but did manage 12 last weekend on the treadmill while on a river cruise. I hate the treadmill but knew I would be sorry if I did not complete the long run. Summertime pool time is the best, but once the end of August rolls around, I am ready for the fall and cooler temps for running.

Being able to cool off in the pool after a long run is, quite possibly, the ONE thing I’m going to miss about running in the summer, haha.

It makes me feel better to know that the scale-back weeks are so effective for other runners…I almost feel guilty about the weeks where I “only” run 10 miles. How sick is that?! ;)

EVER. I’m not one for ice baths or anything like that, but the pool feels heavenly after 2+ hours of running. You gotta try it! :)

I know it’s sooooo frustrating, but I *KNOW* you’ll get there! We’re all rooting for you! :-D

They’re a must for me. Don’t think I could get through a training season without them. Great work! Keep on keeping on!

That’s brilliant! Too bad my pool is closing in like 3 weeks : /
