Sunday, June 10

Training plan is starting tomorrow:

Week of 6/11 (eventually I'll change to starting my weeks on Sunday, because the warmup races will be probably on Saturday -- surprisingly, the Big Hit HM is on Sunday -- but for now, Monday start will work just fine).

Total: 46 miles, including:

Long runs: 12 and 9 miles at 8:30 to 7:30 pace. Meaning starting at 8:30 and finishing at 7:30. This will be a new way of doing these; though I have read this at many places, I always thought it would be too hard to accelerate, not slow down. Which may have been true in the past, but it should be doable now.

LT: 2 x 2 mile intervals. 1.5 miles warmup, 2 miles fast at 6:30/mile, then 3 minutes jogging, then another bout of 6:30 pace, then 1.5 or 2 miles of cooldown. Approx. 8 miles.

Easy runs: 5.67 miles each at 7:30 to 8:30 pace, as slow as comfortable within that range.
