    Another good week Bob. Your easy run pace is my MAF pace! I still haven't started doing 'formal' hill intervals yet. Doing my 'rolling' hill course in the interim.

    Hi Marty - yes, I am doing this for 5 weeks. It will end at the end of next week. Then I will do 9 weeks of a 3-week program that is a bit too complicated to explain now.
