Lactate threshold or bust? Not quite.

When for a fun (read: relaxing) 7 mile run yesterday. My running - and training in general - got a heck of a lot more fun when I realized not every session needed to be at lactate threshold!

I now know about LSD, intervals, recovery, periodization and so on. I'm not an expert or a coach, but learning that I didn't need to go all-out, all the time has made training much more enjoyable.

Yes, I have to do my LT runs, my intervals, and I am getting faster. Like most, I have a small amount of dread for those training days. But not destroying myself on every session has made my life - and my training - far more pleasant!
