Ok, this Lydiard based program Andrew’s got me on rocks. This is my 9th day of running in a row and, other than the natural fatigue I had after yesterday’s long run, and the soreness I had this morning, I feel great.

And get this: My resting heart rate (RHR) went from 50 to 43 in one week. In the past, I’ve seen my RHR go as low as 39 but, that’s been after two or three months of training.

It must be the balancing of easy versus hard runs.

It was quite nice to read that you’re feeling okay after 9 days straight. I stubbled across your blog whilst reading up on Lydiard & am about to start a my own interpretation of his methods myself over this winter.

Good luck with it
