Next race: St. Albert Viking Dash 5K, June 19.

Pfitzinger's recovery plans are so long, I can't afford them. However, in his Road Racing book, he has a much quicker recovery routine. He says to run 50% mileage in the second week (after taking a week off), 75% the third week, and resume training in the 4th, if you feel good.

So what was my "mileage". Taper doesn't count, so let's call it 50 miles. It should have been 55, but in reality, it was more like 50. So I'll be running 25 miles next week, and 37.5 after that. Or I could try 28, 40, 5x, if I feel good. Then I'll figure out the best plan for the 5K. I should be at 60 mpw-ish by the time I race it, even if workouts need to be skipped.
