It's great to know that some of these methods actually work! I was debating recently on whether to try and use it or just go about normally and run when,where and how much i feel like but i think i may decide to change that and start going about things properly...

I am not fast at any sport - never will be and never have been but, I never dreamed I could complete an Ironman. I have been using the heart rate monitor for years and just added his coaching and it worked. I felt like I could keep going even after being out on the course for 16 hours and 50 minutes. The aerobic endurance you can build is incredible. In the shorter races, I maintained my times this past year...by the way I am 51 years old, was never an athlete and started doing triathlons at age 40. Also, have been doing 4-5 tri-s a year - sprint, olympic and half iron distances with no real injuries to speak of. There are lots of reasons to use this training and you can incorporate speed work when appropriate. All good information, reasonable and will keep you training and racing for years.
