Check. But what can I actually measure? Solely for training purposes I mean--it will be easy enough to see progress made when the season resumes.

Fair enough, that I haven't said anything about what I'm doing. However, I am doing some of the workouts that have been recommended and trying to schedule in others. The first round of hills was yesterday.
I managed 3 repeats on a roughly 3:15 time (3:10, 3:17, 3:15). I thought I was doing well, then realized that today my commute was incredibly painful. Tomorrow, I'll be on for 2x10s as hard as I can manage because I'll have a clear road near home. And I'll report progress and ask better questions as I figure this out.
