I've been looking into this Hadd guy, who posted the essentials of his training philosophy, which I think is pretty Lydiardist, on letsrun.com a while ago. It's definitely a different take on training compared to Daniels, which is what I had been following before I got injured last spring. I think with the pose technique that I've going now, I have a shot at doing some long mileage, which I've never been able to do in the past. So the Lydiard approach is of interest to me, emphasizing as it does big miles.

On the other hand, I was looking back at my training from early last year. I did six weeks of base, and then started mixing in faster paced work a la Daniels. I improved pretty quickly: week 6 I raced a 12:56 two mile, week 9 I ran a 5:26 1500m, then in week 11 a 19:20 5k. Maybe that's significant enough that I don't need to go switching stuff around. But maybe that's easy improvement for me. Maybe it's after the week 11 19:20 5k things get a little dicey and the improvement slows. Maybe it's significant that in week 12 I ran a 12:06 two mile, which is not real different from the 19:20 5k. And I've pretty much been doing a Daniels type training system for the last few serious years of training that I had, could be time for a switch.

Sunday's 10 miler went just fine, and I did some drills this morning before dawn in the rain. Could be a long week of running, as it's all going to have to get done early, and it's supposed be rainy through Thursday.
