Dave,
I agree Hyp 1 is a tough drudge. I did 4 workouts a week to get it over with. Since it was my first time ever doing it I liked it, but was ready to be done. Just as with Hyp 2. My calves hurt some towards the end of Hyp 1 and at the start of Hyp 2. My wife got me a foam roller for my Birthday and now they are feeling great.
I notice in your log that you can squat a ton, great job. Do you think that the added muscle gains make you slower running or stronger? I just finished my first Half and I felt like all they Hyp workouts have made me legs stronger and actually faster. I was also doing at least to two speed workouts a week on the 1/2 training. Either a interval,tempo or pace run. So that I am sure helped. But I really think the NROL leg workouts made me strong and more efficient runner.
