Easy is 9:04-9:34/mile.  Long is 9:04-10:04/mile.  Usually I keep long at 9:04-9:34/mile but today I decided to go at an easier pace as I have increased the mileage this week.  (Sunday through Saturday sees fifty miles.  Sunday saw 11, Wed 10 and today sees ten miles. 

Adam (ACorn) spoke of planning to do Easy miles for the first eight weeks of his training regimen while upping the mileage.  I decided to go with that plan as well.  I'll throw some quality workbouts in there with a race or two maybe.  The current plan is 4 weeks at 40 miles, 4 weeks at 45 miles, 4 weeks at 50 miles and then maybe 4 weeks at 55 miles along with two taper weeks.  Hitting 90% = success.  Sunday will complete the first four week mesocycle (My week starts Monday).  I am on track with the mileage!!!!!  Yes, that number of exclamation points is warranted. These past four weeks see me hitting the required 90% mileage.  Week 9 forward will have three quality workbouts weekly.  Week 1-4: Longs are ten miles.  Week 5-8: Long will be 13-16 miles.

Great 10 miles, congrats on reaching your mileage goal for the week!

ACorn, thanks. I am on target with hitting the mileage goals for the past four weeks. I think I am off to a pretty good start. Hope to keep this up and would love to remain consistent for an eighteen week training program. I have yet to remain consistent for an entire 18 weeks!
