It's a long story.

I can't seem to find it. Was that you? And if yes, can you send me the link?

I think this is because endurance is so much more trainable than speed. When I run short distances – quarters, half miles and miles I am going all out – there is no holding back. When I look at something like the McMillan Running Calculator I am spot on from 5k to marathon but nowhere close on the quarters, half miles or mile.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-50356803554494480172010-10-05T14:18:13.572-05:002010-10-05T14:18:13.572-05:00oh meant to say I'm doing the FIRST program to...oh meant to say I'm doing the FIRST program too..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090547844237303579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-4860436476270280752010-10-05T14:17:49.018-05:002010-10-05T14:17:49.018-05:00You are a speedy swimmer. :) I only have one speed...You are a speedy swimmer. :) I only have one speed too, but mine is WAY slower than yours! <br /><br />Awesome on the cert!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090547844237303579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-11998602262590986582010-10-05T10:21:16.184-05:002010-10-05T10:21:16.184-05:00Way to go on the certification!

Do you think this is a mental barrier you have created so that you know you will always have some gas in the tank?<br /><br />This is what I do. If I go out and want to go to failure... I cannot do it. I am ALWAYS conservative no matter what so that I finish.<br /><br />I was trying to find ways to change this personally. It involves speed work and intervals as well.<br /><br />Keep up the good work swimming your times are GREAT!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-38385346060883549222010-10-05T07:27:32.281-05:002010-10-05T07:27:32.281-05:00Congrats on the coaching certification James, that...Congrats on the coaching certification James, that is really terrific!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061231036755945077noreply@blogger.com
