I passed two of my records today: miles per month (one day left) and miles per year (thirty two days left). Marathon training is going great!!

Way to go PRE! I plan to break 200 for the first time tomorrow morning. This is a whole new level of commitment, but it feels good.

Looks like your marathon PR was Colorado last May. Is that the race you're training for now?

If I can ask, how many miles/week are you working toward? I'm trying to figure out a plan for my first attempt (May 2010 Flying Pig).

Good luck - Andy

I am currently training for the Eugene marathon at the end of April. I dont go for miles per week, I try to run by time, 40 to 45 minutes per day and on Saturdays (long days) go one hour, and try increase by five each week. Right now I am up to 1 hour and 30 minutes. At The peak of my training I should be around 2 hours to 2 and a half hours on the long runs.

Interesting post! I have switched from running only to walk/running, and have had two 280+ months. I walk about 2/3 of them. I cannot dream of only running such distances in a month. (I used to run 42-45 mpw.)

Congratulations.
