      Yes, it's high. It's doable, but high.

        That doesn't tell me the percentage, apparently the LR is supposed to be 30-35% of the weekly total. This week hasn't been perfect along with my quads being weird, I might cut Sunday to 18 or 16 instead of 20, I can do 20 next Sunday if I have to.

         

        How many more weeks until the IMM?

          I've been telling him that for 3-4 years, he ain't listening. But we're hoping to switch to a better CPA that actually gives a shit about us, and cares that I am not only inexperienced but I've also got a 3 year old at the shop with me... many who hear about that and all that I do at the shop cannot believe how I manage.... the secret is that I'm barely hanging on half the time

            10 weeks.

            I was just kidding about the long run percentage. If you think you need to cut back, cut back. But if you're feeling good, I wouldn't worry about being higher than last month.

              Other than my quad complaining a little, I feel pretty good.... stupid damn quad!!! It's freaking me out damn it

                Also, running the mile the day after your LR is sort of yuck.

                  None of that clearly explains WTF my problem was (other than the Surgeon General's warning in post 1):

                   

                  Weeks to Go Mileage LR Percentage
                  10 36.4 10.4 29%
                  9 49.5 15 30%
                  8 50.8 11.2 22%
                  7 54.4 16.1 30%
                  6 55.3 12.1 22%
                  5 62.2 16.1 26%
                  4 55.2 12 22%
                  3 63.3 16.1 25%
                  2 37.1 11 30%
                  1 32.3 8.1 25%
                  0 49.2 26.2 53%

                   

                  Clearly my LR was too high of a percentage of my mileage on marathon week.  I should have run more that week to justify that distance of a LR.
