long runs for me. to just get out and go....and go.....it really clears my mind.
Interval at a track, there's something about running fast and being near a football field.
These days almost every run is a long run ... it's rare I run less than 6.5 and those are easy days. I am a huge fan of hills. Because they remind me of NYC, because of the great sense of accomplishment, and because they're half of every route I run. Even my long runs have a lot of hills. No workout has done more for me than hills.
It's a toss up between hills & long runs. I like the chance to be alone for the extended periods of time that my long runs afforded me.
But there's no feeling like conquering a few nasty hills and making your calves scream in agony.

Granted my long run is only 6 miles right now but when I complete them I feel better.
It is to d@mn hot to do any real speedwork so most of my training runs are all at the same pace.

My favorite workout is, lifting weight as it increase the muscles and become me strong.
