Adding in the strides are great! I try to do a few sets of them before every run. And yay for more yoga, I could use more of that in my life too.

I'll have to talk to my coach when I get to that burnout stage and he may just give me a few runs for time with no specific paces. I think I could handle that. I do make use of my treadmill a lot. It makes running off the bike trainer in the winter so much easier.
