Thursday, August 23

Yeah, I messed up again. The last couple of weeks were characterized by meager attempts to get back to regular training, but with no race on the horizon and way too much work, the efforts were only realized in the sporadic single 7-8 mile runs.

But now the good news: U of L will sponsor a team for the LSC Half marathon, and I'm on the team. I must go below 1:30 again, and there are a few nasty hills in Cherokee Park. I ramp up some training by the weekend and I'll try to catch up with my abandoned plan. So I'll attempt the following week plan and mileage:

08/26 (week 9): 60 miles
09/02 (week 8): 56 miles
09/09 (week 7): 61 miles
09/16 (week 6): 65 miles
09/23 (week 5): 63 miles
09/30 (week 4): 56 miles
10/07 (week 3): 58 miles
10/14 (week 2): 54 miles
10/21 (week 1): 49 miles
10/28 (race week): 40 miles

It's a little scary to jump into a 60 mile week, I hope I can do it... I ran 9 today and except for a mild muscle pull (left calf) I felt fine.

Oh, and also peak weeks in Poland... sounds unlikely, but hey, one can still plan, right?
