3 mile warm-up
12 miles @ Marathon Pace (6:03, 6:03, 6:03, 6:03, 6:03, 6:03, 6:00, 6:00, 6:00, 5:56, 5:56, 5:56)
1 mile cool-down
16 miles total
Here is the mileage for the week of 2/9- 2/15:
2/15- 16 miles (12 @ MP)
2/14- 7 miles-recovery (6 X 100 strides)
2/13- 13 miles
2/12- 8 miles- recovery
2/11- 19 miles (15am/4pm)
2/10- 11 miles (6am/5pm)
2/9- 8 miles- recovery
Total= 82 miles
This is my 3rd straight week of 80+ miles and I'm feeling really good about it. I believe I am handling the mileage well because I feel strong after all my recovery runs. This upcoming week is considered a recovery week where I will drop my mileage down to the mid-70's. Then I will have my first ever 90+ mile week! I still need to do a better job on my nutrition and sleep habits. It would be nice to try and get 8 hrs. of sleep every night and I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to do it. No more late night seinfeld episodes.
Just came across your blog after seeing it linked on a facebook post in the Boston group.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're on your way to quite a time. Judging by your tempo run, you're planning on something around 2:35-2:40??
Just keep up your discipline and you will be on top like back in the days at Lathrop Lol. Keep keeping on.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is 2:40 myself. I know that it's a stretch, but I figure that if I train at the paces and do the workouts necessary, and remain healthy, then come race day, I'll be prepared to just give my best effort and see what comes of it.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see what the boston times are, 6 minute pace at Boston is flying man! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWow, 82 miles, you are killing it out there! Great work.
ReplyDeleteI just checked the entrants list for Boston and there are a ton of Alaskans running it this year. It will be fun to see how everyone does. We will be well represented with the names I saw on the list.
ReplyDeleteUnless I missed someone I think you and Sam will be duking it out for the top Alaskan spot.
