I ran this route 2.5 weeks ago and am pleased with today's results. Especially the splits for the "out" hills and my "back" downhills. I was really breathing hard the last mile and was tired, but I was able to hang on. Maybe I'll do it again in another 2.5 weeks (Nov 6).
I seem to be sitting at an AP of 8:30ish for my faster runs. Hopefully more time on the road will make faster.
So long rest week. I would really like to finish up my 36 mile/week 3 week cycle. I think that 40 miles is a big jump - almost a mile/day increase. So I'm going to do a 38/mile week, then start my 40/mile cycle. I want to sit on 40/week until December (with rest weeks every 3 weeks). We'll see how things go. This is an adjustable schedule.
This is the most I've ever run in my life. I've peaked at 47 miles/week, but that included a 22 miler. My paradigm shift with running is working. I just hope I don't screw it up. I still have a long time to go.
