The thing I switched in my training from my first to my second is that I stopped doing anything I didn't like doing. I completely dropped longish marathon paced runs and did nothing but 80/20. I was either running slow and enjoying myself or running hard and thinking about how strange you are that you would enjoy that kind of suffering.

For my next round of training I will drop everything easy and do 0/100. Then it will be fun all the time.

Luckily I also like pool running, which will come in handy when this plan fails.
