58F, S 16-21 mph. 8:02 AP. Nothin much to say about this one. Stare-down with a cow (he won) but that's about it. Here is my crazy mileage plan for Boston (subject to some probable tweaks - I posted a training review request in the discussion forums). I'll either get really fast, or die trying.

Very interesting. I think you should be able to handle those miles, just depends on the level of effort. As you know, I can't handle big miles without slowing down, but better runners such as yourself seem to have less problem. So what is the difference between black, green and blue?

Ah, yeah the spreadsheet itself it probably only decipherable to me. Green = double, black = easy, red w/ a box is a race, blue is an MP run, purple is LT. I haven't figured out where to put all the workouts yet (thus the post in the forum) but I have a general idea now.

I do have an adjustment peiod with high mileage where I can't work out much, but once it clicks and I get used to it, I actually start recovering faster than ever and can do more.

Looks like some crazy weeks! I hit 90 in one 7 day period, but I can't imagine doing it for weeks on end and by myself.
