Runners run
Prophet!
After 5.5 months of 50 mpw base, I was 156 lbs. and ran 18:14 for 5K in October and 1:25:31 for HM in November. More recently, after another 4+ months of 50-60 mpw, I ran 1:23:33 for HM.
keep running.
Why is it sideways?
Excellent! Will be checking this chronicle religiously. In your first 50 mpw base what sort of schedule were you running ? Were you running everyday then ? Curious as I"m trying to get up to that for the summer before marathon training starts in September..
What kind of mileage were you running as a kid? Why did you pick 50-60 miles a week as the magic number?
Did you hold off on racing until after the base period or did you do any timed trials at least? Or did you just let the fitness ferment and become like good beer before testing it out?
Love the key workouts. I have no idea where you learn this stuff but it's darn cool. awesome log! 10/10
Awesome, Mike. Looking forward to this. Pretty solid high school times, there. Just curious--what was your high school program like?
So you've been road racing for 7 years.... What kind of ebb and flow have you noticed about your training?
Modified to add: And another thing...all my H.S. PR's are from my Junior year b/c I was injured most of my senior year.
Anyhow, I'm very happy to see that you've progressed beyond your silly track circles. I mean, you ran a 5k in amazing time but didn't stop there. Then a 10k, then a half-marathon... then an insanely fast marathon.
