Other Training Options

I just wanted to post this because I know that some of you on the team might like a more challenging training schedule then what Ragnar has available. In my experience I have really enjoyed, and been impressed with, the Hal Higdon training programs. I used one of his training programs while training for a 5k and half marathon last year, and was able to get my mile time down to 6:14. (...Unfortunately I let myself get out of shape for the Wasatch Back, but I promise that I will be better this year!)
Anyway, here is the link for his 5k training schedules. They should be more then enough training to get you in great shape for the Wasatch Back. I started the advanced training schedule last week. Let me know if you have any questions about any of it. Also, just a quick note, the speed/interval workouts are what is going to help you get in great cardiovascular shape faster and help improve your split times.
