12 mile Fartlek run in Denver. 2 warm up, 1 to 5 minute pyramid style alternating fast and slow. This has always been a run that shakes out any lingering soreness. In college we used to run this as two competeing teams, with two bikes. You ran as fast as you could to where the bike was picked it up and biked as fast as you could for a block or two, and started running again. Each guy on the team grabbed the bike when he could. It was great since it mattered little how fast each guy was.

Twelve mile runs never "shake out any lingering soreness" for me. They just make me more sore!

I know. You and I have talked about this a few times. When I get sore from some mileage it seems to really help to do some intervals. Really slow warm up, force myself to do some 2 and 400s, a few 8 and 1000s, maybe 75% effort. Usually two days after I get an interval workout in, whatever was bugging me fades away. I think a lot about what you said some time ago about coaching for a Master, that it would be hard to coach one of us because we run whatever is needed. Like this week. I can't run a plan. I have kids to care for, a job to fit in, too sore some days or feel too great others, besides the fact that half the time I don't get some of the running anyways.
