40/40 Tally plus week ending April 22

Many thanks, Egret, for carrying the load for the past few weeks.

Quotes:
?Runners who are in Boston taper mode or recovery mode can still post. We?re interested in the whole ride.? ? egrd

?Personally I stay away from natural foods. At my age I need all the preservatives I can get.? ? George Burns

?A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.? ? John Barrymore

?Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.? ? Helen Keller

?We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.? ? Emil Zatopek

?Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.? ? Jim Ryun

40+ runs:

dtoce 44 HR seems nicely under control, introducing some tempo runs.
breger1 43.5 Struggling with weather conditions, but you got it done.

naphtali 40.6 Including the Columbus Distance Classic.
hollys4874 40.4 Plus walking.

Re: 40/40 Tally plus week ending April 22

I still have long hours and this will be my 10th week of it. It looks like another 80 week, since I still do not have much help in the kitchen. I have Lincoln coming up in three weeks.

My toe is okay now. I started wearing shoes again four days ago. At least I can run comfortablly now, if I even have the chance withour being rundown from my job. This is the least I have run in 21 years of running marathons/ultras.

Re: 40/40 Tally plus week ending April 22

Fortunate - I think you missed me on the list of 40/40 members for this past week. I managed to run 41.7 total miles with most of it pushed by the kids on the track (see week ending 4\15 thread for breakdown).

Thanks,

Mike "GG" B

Mike, I didn't miss you--I just decided to post an early list (mostly for the ones who provide information for Sunday through Saturday) and then wait for the Sunday runs (like yours, since you provide Monday through Sunday information) to come in before posting the final list. Don't worry; you'll be on the final list. You know how it is--every person "in charge" has their own way of doing things.

cfli, I know that plan well. I'm two weeks from the end, having done my third 20-miler a week ago.

Re: 40/40 Tally plus week ending April 22

thanks Fortunate One for taking this one!
(and nice little medLR yesterday-when 12 miles sails along during the taper, it is a really good feeling) Enjoy the taper, as the madness will likely follow...ha.

Su-10 in the windy/rainy/sloppy conditions that are heading for Bawston...cold/damp and shiverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring...
M-5 easy-still in the rain
T-7 slow/easy-yep, still in the drizzle...
W-8 easy with 10 strides
Th-9 with 7 continuous and 2 slow/recovery-included 2x2miles at MP HR 143-148 (6:53-7:18) slowly getting there
Fri-5 slow/recovery (~9mpm)
Sa-8 easy with sorta' fast finish (last 2 miles ~7:30)
Total=52 miles

And it was bitterly cold, windy and rainy just about a week ago.
I love springtime!

Re: 40/40 Tally plus week ending April 22

Never posted here before, so not exactly sure what the rules are. But managed back to back weeks of 49 miles (end Sun). Never ran a 50 mile week before ...and not sure why I didn't run 1 extra mile to do so.

Re: 40/40 Tally plus week ending April 22

Thanks Fortunate One, appreciate the response and all of your efforts in running the thread. Here is my plan for the upcomming week (Monday to Sunday):

Mon - 6 miles on the track working on drafting and proper passing techniques with kids. They like the old man up front breaking - no comments please - the wind.
Tue - 5.2 miles EZPZ
Wed - 6.4 at track practice
Thur - rest day = 0
Fri - 5.9 at track practice
Sat - rest day as legs are hurting from 3 hard track sessions and I have a race on Sunday.
Sun - Valley Forge Revolutionary 5-mile run plus 3 miles in W/U and C/D. Then a lot of running around the track at a 4 and one half hour track meet.

Totals, may I have a pass please, are 31.5 miles.

PJ<HR>

PJ, For your benefit as well as others who haven't posted here before, here's what you do. Early in the week, post your plan for the week (some people skip this step, which is fine too) under the topic that has the correct ending date (a Sunday). When you finish the week's running, edit your post to indicate that the total is what you did, not just what you planned to do. I and some others put the mileage we've done in boldface, but that's just up to the individual. Some people add notes, some provide the bare bones. I'll look at the mileage totals and post a tally for the week, in rank order by mileage, and post it as a place where people can post their plans for the next week. And the cycle continues.

BTW, congrats on the 49 mile week. That deserves recognition.
