Seemed ridiculous that a faster 5k would help improve the marathon. I now love both distances even though they're quite different to race. You don't have to do it the same way but if you improve your shorter distance speed as you increase your weekly mileage you'll get to that faster Marathon. <br />Diet and weight are other important elements but they seem to fall naturally in place as you compete. You just don't feel as good if you're heavier and you're putting junk in your body. I do cheat every once in a while to stay sane. Beer and pizza are just too good to leave completely behind.<br />Good luck with your training!KeithPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531751847965926700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300487283656424148.post-225601943361841552014-01-20T17:13:32.134-08:002014-01-20T17:13:32.134-08:00You can follow Keith on twitter @KeithFreeburn You can follow Keith on twitter @KeithFreeburn Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418405087117871225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300487283656424148.post-89124725183588509392014-01-20T15:52:19.453-08:002014-01-20T15:52:19.453-08:00I LOVED reading this!

Keith, It's so inspiring to hear how far you've come and it makes me think...maybe there's hope for me. :) I'll take your advice and step up the speed work. It can't hurt!
