Oh I see how it is Nemo. Dont think of me as a class clown contender do you??! Just you wait and see. Im going to start doing 2X14 Zone for clown regimes right NOW.
Oh yes, quite right, I forgot Elvis was in the house!
I did Tris about 7-8 years ago for 2 seasons. stopped due to work. regretted it. started marathon training and got shin splints, PF, etc. Thinking back those were slower to hit. And I'm sure I ignored the signs...typical tough guy.
Lately I've been better at identifying problems and skipping a workout when needed. I've also been more prone to falling on my face recently.
All told I'd like to thank everyone. Unlike a Slowtwitch thread I feel like I have real answers and real direction to take. I'll follow the RnP plan for at least 6 weeks and just keep my eye on how my legs are feeling.
Eric- another idea for preventing injuries is checking on flexibility and strength for run muscles or kinetic chain. Patrick did a blog last week featuring strength running. Some good sources for running injury free by a guy Jason "Fitz" Fitzgerald @ strengthrunning.com

The falling on your face drill is a real sign of deep fatigue; most accidents happen when the athlete is tired.
