It’s once again that time. As I always mention, this is one of my favorite things to do every year. It’s your opportunity to ask me anything you would like.
Almost nothing is off limits. Feel free to ask me about training, racing, my thoughts on the news in and around the sport, what’s going on at HillRunner.com. This is my invitation to you to ask whatever you would like.
…Two notes before getting started with this month’s posts:
1) I’m trying something a little different. I’m going to pick one topic to write about here, then offer more links with a quick intro to each after that. I’d love to hear what you think of this format.
2) Unrelated to this post, just a note about the summer blogging. I’m taking my own advice and keeping my priorities in order. I want to spend a lot of time with my family and, when you live in Wisconsin, you learn quickly to take advantage of the summer. So I’m going to go to an every other week schedule over the summer. Next week, I’ll post the usual ask me anything. Then I’ll take the following week off from blogging and so on through August. I’m not sure what that will mean for these monthly recaps but I’m sure there will be at least one over the next few months.
Ok, now on to this month’s topics.

When you’re looking to improve, where should you go first?
Given my training history, which I’ve shared very publicly over the years, you might think I’d say do more.
If you did, though, you’d be wrong. I did more, a lot more at times, but not until I focused on doing things “better”.
…
Do you remember when you first started running? You could do no wrong. You got better no matter what you did, even if you know now that it wasn’t very sound training.
Now, if you’re an experienced runner, every bit of improvement takes a monumental effort.
