601D103 Canal Trail

Sun, Jul 22, 2012 12:15 PM

Distance: 6.48 mi Time: 59:11 Avg Pace: 9:08 min/mi Elevation Gain: 387 ft

I ran another 6.5 EASY miles on the Canal Trail. 

Week 1-6 Mileage is 39, 36, 34, 47, 23 (Tough Mudder, Mount Snow, VT), and 23 (Recovery Week from Mount Snow).  

Now I need to kick it up to about 45 miles this week.  Two more weeks of Easy running and then the training gets more intense. 

GOAL: Stay on track for next six weeks with regard to mileage and quality workbouts.

That's a good goal - some strong consistency during the second half of the summer will pay big dividends in the fall (when things cool off!)

Is the canal trail dirt or pavement? It looks like your training has picked up. Nice work PRE.

Jake,

Thanks. I need to constantly monitor myself with regard to consistency! The answer would be to simply get in the habit of running in the morning. But I think I like sleeping. And yet, deep down, I know, mornings would be the way to go! Cooler weather, the run would get done, there would be really nothing getting in the way of the run getting done...and yet, I run evenings.

Scott,

Thanks. The canal trail is paved...shaded, cool, lots of trees. But I have run Sleeping Giant a few times...which is really trail running/climbing for a while and then dirt trail. That climbing component, which you are well accustomed to, is awesome! But...not even close to the vertical you do.
