40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One

Hi all,
For added fun, here?s a wee photo quiz for you to test your Running History knowledge. Post your answers in your weekly plan if you want to measure your knowledge against other 40/40ers

You?ll find the answers in my post later this week as (Huzzah!) I requalify to be a 40/40 poster.

Special Shout Out to Pre Dawn Runner who is also back, and looking jest as fine and strong as she could be. . . Shout Out also to Dr. Dale, our intrepid friend who announces his imminent return as well. Woot!

The farther I go, the less I know
One foot goes in front of the other
It all boils around to not hanging around
To keep moving in front of the gravity. . . "

Long Distance Runner
Fugazi


rbbmoose: 80.6. Of course your legs feel like ****. The trash feeling will convert. The solid and consistent times on your km repeats and your wave MP run illustrate how well prepared you are. Sleep, eat. Taper zone ahead.
jjchaney: 76 He?s ready for Beantown. Even chomping at the bit. A ?strong through the hills? long run with solid pace and some MP work.
nighthawk42:: Total 74.1 Cracking off some hard work, and many new PRs. Check this list out: ?A new weekly PR at 74.1; a new 2 day PR of 51; a new 3 wk PR of 200? Woot!!
joplus: 69.9 Tow long runs this week (over 15 miles each) and this: ?Sa: 9.86mi incl "5K" (3.21mi) race - 20:05, 1OA? Sweet.
mcsolar99: 63.5 And that?s just the running. Also strong arms an orchard into his back yard. Ask him how many boxes of rocks he found and how many pick axes he broke. Him and Tall, the Landscaping Strongmen.
robp : 58 managing in spite of ?stuff? going on to keep at it. Good Vibes continue to be sent your way.
tallrunner: 57 Puts in a solid week of MP intervals and brick laying and resists the call of ATB.
Soundrunner1012: 55 Tough start to the week feeling tired but perks up and pulls off a good mid-week w/out and a slammin? LR. Tapering now ? Huzzah!!
runwun: 54 ten after ten after ten after ten and then easy hard hard. Sounds logical.
rasmussenmp: 52.2. Holy cats!! Read it for yourself: Sun: 28.2 miles including Ocean Drive Marathon, Cape May, NJ. (goal 3:40, Ave HR 150) Actual: 3:36:15 in 15-20 mph headwinds gusting to 30mph all but a couple of miles. Will write a report when I get back home.? Um, remember what he was doing last weekend? Zowie.
timlooney: 51.04 Grrr, stoopid work getting in the way. But, gosh: ? this was impressive: T - 6.67 indoor track + TM tempo intervals 3 x 10 min @ 7% incline
lyndenrunner: 50.2 Solid pacing. A couple f nice back to back niners, the second one faster than the first.
wa5yom: 50 Another one chomping at the bit. Putting in a very good week with a ?Great week......really fast intervals followed by a STRONG final 20 miler then some hard hill work. The taper begins?. . . Good man, the hard work is done. Woot!
jdmom3: 50 Heh heh, famous last words ?I'm upping the mileage a bit this week and hoping to hit 50. As a result, no tempo or speed work.? Hey Meg, that Thursday run, where you did progression stuff, down to 6:35 min/mile. . .? This is nearing tempo for you isn't it? Hoping it all comes together for you soon.
Fortunate One: 50 First time for this milestone. WoooHooo! Looking forward to tapering. Hang tough, it will pay off nicely.
WillRunForBeer: 47.5 Solid week with a good mix of GA, MP and strength. Also practicing the faster leg turnover with striders.
Caddisfli : 44 Nice to hear that your fitness is returning. And just in time too, with all them 20 milers coming up! Nice.
naphtali: 43.85 For the twelfth consecutive week over 40. Woot!
Peter NC: 40.7 On the mend, and coming back. Huzzah!!
goofyguy1958: 40.4 Two track work outs and a Freudian slip - ?Miles Ruin? ? heee.
DaveinAA: 40 brings it back from a tough tempo w/out with a pretty quick LR on Sunday and some striders built in elsewhere. I guess that's how the future's done.
predawnrunner : 40 Back!!!!!! With a very solid LR of 16 miles. Yeah Baby!!

Free Pass Line:
busiman: 37 Oh Oh, that LR was very nice ? but like I?ve been hearing about my ?Rebellion Runs?too, take care - be careful.
Ileneforward: 35 Progressing through the week, building mileage back up after a nasty bug did her in. Two Tenners back to back. Bet she?s back this week!
perchcreek: PF hampers the running, but our Boston bound friend keeps up fitness with lots of x-training and his sports doc says Boston still a go. Counting on not needing the duct tape and baling twine.
Karl Rysted: 39 planned. Between that total and his quiet post, can we conclude that he is ?just shy??
hollys4874: Recovering from her debut!!

Re: 40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One
Thanks egrd: I will not be hitting 40 this week and am requesting a pass. Here are the results:

Mon - 6.1 miles - Track practice 4 X 1 mile repeats
Tue - 5.3
Wed - 6.4 - Track practice 3 X 10 minute pick-ups
Thur - 0 -rest
Fri - 5.4 - Track practice 3X Pace line runs
Sat - 12 + 8 yards of mulch
Sun - 2.5 - sore all over - see Saturday's effort. Well I ended up adding 2.5 miles at the track meet warming up our 800 meter runners and milers but still did not make the 40.

Total = 37.7

Total for March = 169

Re: 40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One
Thanks for the wrap up for last week, egrd!

No posting here for me until post-Boston now.

See you here in about a month, maybe more. Keep up the good work, everyone! (Meg, I'll be following your training. You're so inspiring!)

I'll edit after I have a chance to figure out those pics . . .

Re: 40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One
Egret,

I am hoping for a free pass for last week. In place of my long run yesterday, I rode my bike alongside a group of friends running the Ocean Drive Marathon. What a beautiful day. 20-30 mph headwinds for the entire race. A point-to-point course along the barrier islands (think zero protection!) of the Jersey Shore. So my total last week was:

27 miles running
26.2 miles biking

This weeks plan:

M - 5
T - rest
W - 8 w/tempo
T - 6
F - rest
S - 5-6
S - 10

Backing down to the mid 30's since I might do a 1/2 the following week.

I should be back over 40 in a few weeks!

Re: 40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One
My plan has me stepping back this week as well. Matter of fact the weeks will alternate from this point on 20 mile long run then step back weeks until I have doen 3 X 20's.
Sun= Rest
M= 4 miles
T= 9 miles
W= 4 miles
Th= Rest
Fr = 9 miles
Sat= 13 miles

Total= 39 miles ( I refuse to fudge out 1 mile just to clear 40)

Re: 40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One
Hi Egret, ilene, and all.

Yonkers/Herb Elliott?

Thanks to the convenience of a Sunday half marathon and planned Saturday marathon, my big 40 mile week of the year is finally here. It gets tougher every year, but I hope posting it will make it happen again.

Sunday (3/25) - 14.1 miles includes one mile warm-up
Saturday (3/31) - 26.2 - ETA - nope, got sick and DNS for sickness for first time.

Re: 40/40 Tally and plans for Week Ending April One
Thanks Egret!

I'd guess 1st Boston finish, 2nd Banister? 3rd, no clue.

Knock on wood, but I'm feeling great after a fast long run yesterday. No tender spots and Hammy is staying quiet. I'm looking forward to recovering and being healthy for the big day.

I'm not sure of my schedule, but it'll be close to:

M - rest
T - PT and 5mi 5mi slight hill
W - 3mi ez 8mi hilly loop
T - PT and 5mi 3 ez
F - 3mi ez 8mi @pace
S - 7mi @pace lifeus-interruptus 0mi
S - 12mi on the Newton hills likely http://as planned half at pace. Heartbreak was breezy. no side of hammy troubles.

Total low 30s [actual was 36
