[QUOTE="Commander Keen, post: 2873330, member: 9126"] Thanks! Qualifying for Boston is certainly my goal right now, and is something I think I can do within the next 2-3 years. My summer training plans of speed, hills, and strength training (mostly core and lower body, some upper) is aimed toward an eventual BQ. Tulsa is a hilly course. Even disregarding your Crossfit/strength training, which can certainly help running, a flatter course would go a long way toward cutting that 1 min/mile off your current PR. Maybe Chicago, Houston, or even OKC would help. One of my co-workers does Crossfit, and his gym has a program for endurance athletes. That may be something that could help kill two birds with one stone for you, if available. Granted, though, my Crossfit and general strength-training knowledge is very limited. Have you/do you do any training by heart rate for your runs? That's how I structure mine, and I fully credit it with making the rapid progress I have. [/QUOTE]
