Trying to finish the week strong. I need to figure out how to fit 6 days of running into a week. I would have broke 60 miles this week had I managed that. Still, I set out this morning with a goal of 16 miles. But after about 9 I thought it would be a shame not to just push for that extra 2 and get double my daily mileage. I managed 13.1 in 2 hours and 18 in 2:48 so I think I can get 26 in close to 3:30 with a few more weeks of training. It will help that the last 8 or so miles will all be downhill at close to 2500 feet elevation. I just need to get my legs used to the distance first. I think next week I'll keep to the 9 a day and try to fit 6 days in. The first half felt great, second half was more of a mental effort, last 3 more of a physical effort. |
