What's your take on weighted training? I was thinking of getting some light ankle weights, but I heard that there are many injuries involved in weighted jogging. It works from what I've heard, but is it worth the potential risks?
Sidenote : tax payers just bought me a very expensive set of orthopedic insoles from my doctor.

Good for your sprint endurance, bad for your landscaping.
How far are you running for training? You hit a wall in endurance? Try to go farther. Try to do 40-50 miles a week and don't worry about the speed. I haven't run less than 6-8 miles at a time in months, but I ran a 5k for fun and surprised myself with a 16 minute race. After jogging 15-20 miles 3 will seem like a run to the mail box and your confidence will be way up there.
By "brick wall" I mean I'm tapped as far as my running distances (which is usually somewhere between 3 and 4 miles) and I need a kick in the ass. I suppose I can attempt to double up my distances which will feel like pulling teeth. I've got a ways before I catch you as far as mileage. Geez, running bites. :icon_rage Then its like I say, There is always failure.
