Total Distance

30.00

AM - 5. didn't feel half bad, light fartlek the last couple miles

AM2 - 10 with a 4-mile of quarter-mile on, quarter-mile off in 23:50. jumped straight into it after 3 miles of easy running, and stopped for about a minute after it to change back into trainers. just a little something to mix up the tedium and monotony of base training, i didn't think i could break 24 on a normaly 4-mile tempo with my current fitness so it was a nice surprise. happy with it, especially considering this made 30 miles in less than 12 hours. did some new stuff before the run that i'm mentioning in case it helped, namely meditating and light resistance band work beforehand, plus taking my multivitamin i usually take after the run instead.

PM - 15. had some stomach cramps after 11 miles but then migos versace remix came on shuffle and i found the strength to power through. legs felt pretty good for 45 miles in just under 24 hours(started this one a little earlier than yesterday to catch up on sleep)

WOW!!

Eugene, you are the king of mileage.

I have been putting in a lot of mileage recently and doing 18 miles a day, but to think you did almost double that today...it blows my mind.

I can't even imagine it.

You have amazing will power.

Keep it up!

You are an inspiration to us all.

I think that you should try a time trial in the next couple of weeks. You already have a great base! Maybe see what you can do for a 5k TT?

eh, i probably will when the base phase is over, but that doesn't happen until the end of october, if i adhere to the plan. for now i'm just throwing in things like fartleks, fast finishes and the occasional aerobic run; things that give me a chance to go a little faster without compromising the mileage or breaking the legs down.

honestly, my base is actually pretty weak as of recent, i just "unlocked the code" so to speak the past couple weeks. i only ran more than 50 miles in a week once from march to may, and 9 of those weeks were under 20 miles. i don't think about it too much though; i can train hard now and that's what i'm gonna do!

that being said, a TT does sound fun. i started scaring myself on the fartlek when the hard quarter miles started hitting low 70's!

how is this even fun... i have a hard enough time doing that in 3 days...

i have what you'd call an "addictive personality"... this just happens to be my healthiest outlet for it ;)
