This Looks Like Marathon Training

At this point, there's a lot of time before any race in the spring. And I'm happy about that. This gives me a chance to try and push my training mileage.

And so the goal between now and, say, sometime in January, will be to run often. I'll try to do some interesting workouts, long runs, hill repeats, and maybe a Fresh Pond race here or there - but the only thing I'm really concerned about is mileage.

With that in mind, I was able to hit 65+ miles for the past week. I think that might be a new high water mark...



On to the data!



Sunday 2-Dec     16.0     16.0 Long Run 0:07:36 16.26 Battle Road w/CSU. Eli came along for a solid 9 miles as well. Legs weren't all there, but it was a nice effort.
Monday 3-Dec       4.0        6.0 Recovery Double 0:07:57 10 5 at lunch & 5 in the evening. Afternoon run was slow, felt much better in the evening but I tried to take it easy/recovery.
Tuesday 4-Dec       5.0     10.0 Hills 11.04 5m warm up, 10 repeats on heartbreak, ~2.5+ cooldown. Warm up was very slow and my shins were bothering me quite a bit. Massaged out some knots before the repeats and was good to go.
Wednesday 5-Dec       4.0        8.0 Recovery 0:07:56 4.01 Recovery run.
Thursday 6-Dec       7.0     10.0 Intervals 12.21 (400/600/400/200/200)x2/800/600/400 - I added the last three, and most of the workout went well. A probably just-a-little-too-hard of an effort though.
Friday 7-Dec       6.0        6.0 Moderate 0:07:57 6.14 Three Hill route. Felt pretty crappy.
Saturday 8-Dec       5.0        5.0 Recovery 0:08:26 5.48 Recovery run w/3 strides to finish up.


Thursday splits: 400-1:17, 600-2:00, 400-1:19, 200-0:37, 200-0:36, 400-1:19, 600-2:03, 400-1:20, 200-0:38, 200-0:35, 800-2:47, 600-2:04, 400-1:18

I'm happy with that week.
