200 mi.
I dare ya.
Live the Adventure. Enjoy the Journey. Be Kind. Have Faith!
I don't know. 150? or 170? I'll be tapering for a half on the 28th. I normally don't taper, but this race has an elevation change, is a warmer climate, and I will be at a conference....so jet lag, dehydration and poor nutrition all come into play. I want to take a little easy the last week before the race.
Oh, and do well in my half.
Plan says 218. Yikes. I know that's nothing for the serious runners, but would be a personal high for me.
With that in mind:
1) Stay healthy. Listen to body.
2) PR 4 miler
3) Find another tune-up race. Anyone recommend a good Ohio area 10K - half in late March / early April?

What's a serious runner?
Ohio half: ORRRC half marathon -

It's flat, not overly crowded, and not expensive.
1. 250 miles
2. 10k PR
3. Lose at least 2kg [I was 59.3kg on 1 March and I want to be under 56kg by the time I do the marathon at the end of April]
Let's see... 41+ miles of racing in the past two days. If that doesn't qualify you as a serious runner, you may at least have a serious running problem. Way to get it done in some lousy weather this weekend.
As my dear mom says anytime I tell her something is her problem (jokingly, of course)... "It's not my problem. It's my solution." Had you seen me running the Frostbite 5 in a jester hat, serious is probably not the first word that would have come to mind.
Thanks for the kind words. Was a good mileage weekend. Your 195+ mile month of Feb is impressive!
RoadRunner
Run 175 miles and a 15K PR. The PR will be easy... never ran a 15K before.
Didnt see one yet, so thought I'd start it. Here's my goals for March: 200 miles 10 mile PR - hopefully sub-1:10 (PR is 1:14)

Okay, not sure I'm going to make the 200 miles because I'm going to take an easy week this week and last week was pretty low too.
but I did get my 10 mile PR and my sub 1:10 yesterday, coming in at 1:09:41 (well, official time was 1:09:46 but it took me 4-5 seconds to cross the start and my Garmin buzzed at 10 miles just as I crossed the finish in 1:09:41)
So I think I'll adjust my mileage goals to 160 for now.
And really I got 3 PRs yesterday since my last10K and last 5 miles in that race were both faster than my PRs at those distances.
Wow, Jeff, 3 birds with one stone! Awesome job!!!
Hmmmnn I have claimed that one before so I suppose we will let you have them
It is a good feeling when that happens, well done.

1 - Fail. 227 miles
2 - Yay!! - 41.39 - PR by over a minute!
3 - Fail. Half way though - 1kg down. 56kg for the marathon looking very unlikely now.

160, I'll take it! I had a pretty significant taper...and though I didn't PR...it was definitely a great race for me. It was the hardest road race course I have ever run.
hhmmmnn as predicted I drop slightly short to 221.6 miles and I got 1 x 28 mile run in and a 50km race but with 2 "ultras" in a month and one on Saturday I am well and truly happy with my month how about you guys?
