Learning from my injury

The more I talk to experienced runners and do my reading, the more I see how wrong I was training. I was not allowing my body to rest correctly. I was putting in the miles, but my pace was all off. I didnt have too much of a range of pace between my hill runs to my tempos to my long run. They all were too similar and my body just got overloaded and over worked. As soon as this knee gets better I will make sure my long runs are at least a minute slower than marathon pace and that my tempos are actually tempos and my hill runs are actually hill runs. It was only a matter of time before my body gave out and luckily it did with 80 days left to the marathon which gives me enough time to recover and get healthy then get back out on the road correctly and finish this program and get to the starting line healthy and ready to finish.
