I have been running on the track regularly since 2008 and haven't been injured, except when I did hard workouts on the treadmill 2 days in a row in shoes that needed to be replaced. But I am would like to know more so I can help myself stay healthy!Coreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-77651540301040205762012-09-11T14:58:30.273-06:002012-09-11T14:58:30.273-06:00I've never heard that tracks injure runners be...I've never heard that tracks injure runners before. But don't take my word for it since I do a lot of track workouts and have been out of running commission for the last month. I'm actually convinced it's the plyometrics that caused my injury.

Rotating directions should otherwise fix any issues, I'd think.Rainanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-87268451157825615652012-09-10T13:49:42.010-06:002012-09-10T13:49:42.010-06:00Did he specifically say stay off the track?

I've wondered the same about tracks- but here the univ. track is closed to runners unless you're with a special group that has permission, so most of my speed has been done elsewhere, with my own measurements.Laura @ Mommyrunfasthttp://mommyrunfast.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-74809604584578857962012-09-10T11:27:19.915-06:002012-09-10T11:27:19.915-06:00Hmm.

What I would have scolded you for, however (and you don't actually mention whether your interval times dropped/goal HR was harder to reach, or if you felt your form was suffering) but doggedly sticking to a prescribed workout is not a good idea. If you feel that you can't finish the last interval as strong as the first (yes, it may feel more difficult, but you're still feeling good) then you should quit when you feel you've 'hit the wall' or when your time drops/form starts falling apart. And, I do scold my runners - like when I tell them to do a mid length run with 3 miles at x-pace and they run the whole thing at x-pace because they were feeling good! Great - but that wasn't the purpose of the workout.
