Just ordered that book. Thanks. I like my Hal Higdon book, Run Fast, but he rambles a bit and leaves some things unexplained.

I don't like running in the mornings. I had to go this AM because my wife has us going somewhere tonight at 6. No way I could get my evening run in. Don't like it being dark. Don't like it being early. Ran near the house and it's all uphill both ways.

Question: my kettlebell routine has two squat variants in it: a sumo squat (wide leg splits) and a standard goblet squat. Since I've incorporated them into my routine (two weeks now), my knees have been bothering me. It's not painful, but they just feel weird. More numb and weak than anything else. So, do I quit the squats or just power through it?

What's the TD Strava group? My neighbor has me convinced into using it.

It's excellent. It's a little much for beginners, but anyone wanting to learn the purpose of all the different types of workouts and how to incorporate them into a comprehensive program will benefit from it. It also contains some sample plans for each distance. This book taught me the importance of not just building volume but developing from general to specific and timing it all well in order to minimize injury risk and peak at just the right time.

Running in the dark is creepy at first, but I love it now. Running in the morning seems to boost my energy all day long too.

Where is the numbness? Is it coming from the low back, buttocks, or below the thigh? Is it on both sides or just one?

I like running in the mornings, but hate doing it in the winter. Got up this morning to squeeze a run in. It was dark when I started and dark when I finished. I guess I could have run tonight after work. Then at least it would have been dark when I started and dark when I finished.

Winter sucks.
