Comments on: Winter Build-Up Plan http://thinkhole.org/run/2007/12/03/winter-build-up/ The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run.

Got it for Christmas last year and have been running ever since. It acts as a great motivator for me, and I can't say enough good things about it. Note, however, that the fancy Winter Build-Up graphs were generated using MS Excel. The Garmin Training Center software is extremely limited and the graphing ability is actually quite poor. I ended up entering my weekly totals by hand into an xls and charting it that way. - John Hey Bill,

I'm attempting to do something similar and will be following your progress. After seeing your graphs, I might also look into investing in one of those Garmins!

I haven't actually put a plan down on paper yet though. This sounds like my exact philosophy for winter running so far. I haven’t actually put a plan down on paper yet though.
