Training blocks where everything goes great are often the least valuable in the long term. We distance runners tend to then think that we finally know it all. We finally know the silver bullet that kills the running beast! GREAT!More often than not though, that great training block was a bi-product of all of the lessons of the bad ones coming together in perfect harmony.
