Very soon after I wrote that previous post I realized that it won't work. First, jumping into 50+ weeks from a 41 peak with workouts and all and with only one transition week is brutal. Second, we went to Maine for the week. We flew there and drove back in a small car, so I only brought running clothes for 40+ degree weather. Which occurred probably like once the whole week. Plus the day of flying, and the two days of driving back: it was impossible to fit in the larger volume.

So this cycle will be another 55 mpw one. That's fine. Let's see if I can do a better job to be consistent. There is always more time between a spring and a fall marathon, so for the fall of 2025 I can run a flat one (like Monumental), and try to BQ.

I already started my week. I'll keep the Sunday week start, because the marathon is on a Saturday, and I like the Sunday rest day. I ran my Monday LT run already, and it went pretty well. (I can probably train at 49 VDOT.) But more on that after the week is over.

S: Rest

I may shift the 4 R for Thursday if we have a Thirsty Thursday.
