Total Distance

17.00

17.0 miles in around 2:16. Long run. Up 8.5 in Provo Canyon and back down. Lots of runners/bikers. A little wind and a little rain. Longest run since Ogden Marathon. I was able to keep a descent pace and overall felt pretty good.

I stuck to the training plan exactly this week. I ended up right under 60 miles for the week; which is a lot for me. I hope I didn't do more damage than good though. My feet just don't seem/feel normal. Both achilles and the top of my left foot worry me. We will see how I feel Monday. I guess if they survived this past week, then they should be able to hold up for a while. If I can keep up the training plan I should be in great shape for St. George.

What is your goal for the Provo 1/2? I'm guessing we have similar goals although I may not be in good enough shape right now.

Hey Andy. I'm hoping for maybe 1:25 this year, but am not entirely sure. If I had somebody to run with I'm sure it could help. What are you planning for?

BTW - I read your blog all the time and learn a lot from it. It sounds like you've followed some training plans out of the Advanced Marathoning book. I'm currently using the 12 week 55-70 mile/week plan. Have you found that it sufficiently prepares you for the marathon. Any advice you got I would gladly take.

I really like Pfitz's plans. I first did the 55 mpw plan then have used a variation of the 70 mpw plan for other marathons. The mid-week medium longs runs are tough to get in but I think they really prepare you well for the marathon.

I was thinking 1:25 too. Not sure if I am in shape for it right now but will give it a go.
