And if race day turns out to be hotter than expected (which is 50% of the races I do it seems), you will be able to handle things much better than others. Also like altitude training, training in heat forces you to go slower which can help reduce the risk of injury. I'm convinced now that heat training is my secret weapon. <br /><br />Good luck with Galloway!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32790015.post-53619108874774397942010-05-05T13:50:03.426-05:002010-05-05T13:50:03.426-05:00Wow Susan... that's hot! WTG for getting out t...Wow Susan... that's hot! WTG for getting out there! You rock girl!<br />Acceleration Gliders... isn't it (I don't know) when you have to run in like "progression"? You start, let's say at x min/mile and finish at x-2 min/mile, for example... you upper the pace as you go along. Or it could be running and then running faster for short periods of time, such as a minute or two every 5... that's what the "name" suggests to me. <br />In any case, I think you're doing great! I might do that program too when I can finally run a marathon. It's my long term goal and I crave it sooooooooo bad, but then again... if I can barely run a 10K, how can I even think of a full? Oh well... just give me time... and make no mistake... I'LL DO IT!<br />Best of luck Susan!Jackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231900422177316255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32790015.post-58311672264770485732010-05-04T23:18:31.649-05:002010-05-04T23:18:31.649-05:00I have no idea what acceleration gliders are.
