Jan 25, 2010 Rating Above The Anaerobic Threshold II by: Anonymous Hey Marius.! As you said ealier: About the daily "form" you feel varies. Let me try to explain before my question. To day I had another acid test,during my session 8x6 min E3, I took one acid test after run nr 3 and after run nr 6, and both test was way over the limit, and that with only 160 bpm,the speed was at 13,5/km/t, so Would it be correct to reduce speed on the mill, if the acid test shows high lactate in your blood? Or just end session that day? Regards, Knut Answer: It depends. I tend to say that you can devide sessions into three. "green light" where you feel very, very good and can even add a few runs. "yellow light" where you run through the session, feeling normal. "red light" where you are either ill / not very well recovered and you want to step off the session. In the course of the year though, sessions like that last one (red light) should only occur about once every other week in a well planned program. regards, Marius X Close Editor Jan 25, 2010 Rating Submitted by: Anonymous Title Comment Hey Marius.!

“Sidenote : Shoe Tips For Injury Control

While Using the 100 day Plan"

I'm often asked what shoes I personally recommend to help stay injury free while running (on the 100 day plan) so I'll add a little bit about it at the end of these Q and A's.

Good shoes are crucial if you want to stay injury free during your marathon journey. In general, the best is to find a shoe that fits your feet according to your foot type.

However, these three shoes will do an excellent job with their mild correction - and will work for most runners :

1. Asics Gel Kayano (click for zappos reviews for other runners views)

The legandary shoe from Asics. You cannot go wrong with this one.

2. Nike Pegasus Running Shoes

The most sold running shoes ever - and by every model seems to get better and better. About the same weight as the Kayano but the fit is a little bit different.

3. Asics GT 2150

The 2150 is a great alternative for the faster work you'll be doing in the 100 day plan. It is one of the few shoes that "feels" like a lightweight one but at the same time has more than enough stabilty to prevent injuries with the marathon type length of some of the interval sessions.

A tips for international (non-US) runners : check out roadrunnerssports.com : Example : Asics Kayano (RoadRunnerssports) they ship worldwide and it can really save you some money on your shoes.
