Some things:
I'm vagabonding it this year. Even though I did enough qualifying races, I missed the registration deadline to take advantage of that (yes, I'm a dumbass). So I'll just show up and run the route. There's really nothing stopping you. I might even still get a medal at the end.
I put in more aggressive paramters from my training last year (I lied to the system, sayng I've been running 16-20 miles a week when I've been really sleeping a lot and not exercising).
Changes from last year:
I remember how how my legs gave out last year so, besides running harder I'm going to:
I am going to run 3 times a week instead of 2 like last year. The third workout will start as easy runs, but eventually include a lot of drills and hill repeats.
I'm really going to do strength training (legs, core and abs) weekly.
Concerns:
Last year, I gave myself 12 weeks to train, this year only 10. But, a month ago I was in very good shape (for the triathlon) so even though I've been chilling last month, I think I should still have a decent base. Oh well, we'll see what happens.
