With Jake and Kolten. Ate a pumpkin muffin before and two rice krispies during. Felt amazing at 10 miles, legs were feeling it a bit by the end. To be fair, from my understanding I should be having like 3x that many carbs per hour. I think I should be starting to be regularly over 50 miles per week again now. I got over 50 the last two weeks and 45 this week as somewhat of a down week. I think I'll try to do 2-3 weeks at 50-60 followed by a week at 40-50 this winter.

My ideal week by like February is going to be

Sunday- 10

Monday- 8 mile (workout)

Tuesday- rest

Wednesday- 12 mile (4 stroller, 8 easy)

Thursday- 8 mile (workout)

Friday- 4-8 easy

Saturday- 13-22

So total mileage will be 55-68 by the end of winter. And then at some point in the spring I'll just add an extra stroller run Mondays or Thursdays and I'll be at 60-75 per week. That plus sauna core and maybe some rowing is about the highest volume I think I'll be able to handle before Des news. I also need to start doing my long runs faster.

Also ran a mile later on to break in new gel nimbus.
