Thanks again Scott.

I am now about 100 pages into Training for the Uphill Athlete and everything in it is making a lot of sense. You mentioned several thousand hours at zone 2 I should begin to see my speed increase, is this similar to other aspects of training where the untrained will have initially quick gains and then it will begin to level off? Or have you seen that regardless of base training increasing speed at zone 2 takes several thousand hours?

Long story short, curious if I can expect to be at a jogging pace this year or not.

Thanks Scott! Ill admit it is a little unmotivating to walk, but I will stay the course. I just picked up a copy of the Training for the Uphill Athlete, but havent had a chance to start to dig into it so some quick help on the forum is much appreciated.

I have read that 3-4 days a week in zone 2 is the preferred method, but with my current pace being so easy, is it good to do more frequently, maybe 5-6 days a week then drop to 3-4 when the effort becomes higher?
