After the 45 miles this week I'm healthy and feel fine, so let's plan 46 next week. We'll see how to go on after that. It's a good idea to cut back somewhat for the first week of intensive traning, but I just haven't decided exactly how much. 40 miles sounds fine and it also gives a nice simple conversion factor to the Pfitz plan.

Week of 1/9: total of 46 miles, including
13 miles of long run, 7 miles of tempo, 4 times 6.5 miles of easy runs.

Easy runs at 7:45-8:15, long run should be 7:45-8:00, and tempo pace is 6:45-6:50.
