40/40 Tally and Week Ending May 27

This thread is where we post our plans for the week. At the end of the week, posts are updated to indicate what was actually accomplished, and I tally the totals. Thanks for participating, and feel free to speak up if you?d like to take over the tallying duties for a while.

I didn?t provide hot links to the Marathon and Half Marathon race reports, but you can find them on the Intrepid thread[/URL" target="_blank">.

40+ week:
Patriotsr1 67.5 Including a PR in a 5K fun run!
joplus 65.2
Hermosaboy 51.3 Including being 1st male master in the Fargo Half.
naphtali 51.1 Sunburst Half Marathon coming up on June 2.
Ileneforward 48.2 Including the Palos Verdes Marathon.
timlooney 45.4 Unplanned stepback week, but recovery is important whatever the plan.
dtoce 44 Leading up to a painful trail race.
robp 43.2? Including a grueling Cleveland Marathon.
Nordic Berserker 43 Jet lagged.
jdmom3 43 Struggling with the humidity, but over 40 again!
hollys4874 42.25 Textbook training.
jtv 40.75 including a 5K race.

Last week of taper:
WillRunForBeer 32.4 Tapering just as Pfitz says to do. VCM this weekend.
Doctor Wu 29.2 Not stressing too much about missed training days. VCM this weekend.
dshclio 27 Sciatic nerve is bothersome. Bayshore this weekend.
Busiman ~26 Fighting the flu. VCM this weekend.
Caddisfli 26 A number that will be very familiar at the end of this taper. VCM this weekend.

Free passes:
jjchaney 38.6 That darn flu bug.
smpankowski 32.25 Executing the plan.
mcsolar99 32 A ?crummy? week, but a 5K race in just over 19 minutes has to be some consolation.
breger1 29.35 Stepback week, but getting in some scenic running.
lyndenrunner 24.5 Get well soon.
Canfit 14? Reverse taper.

Missing this week:

Re: 40/40 Tally and Week Ending May 27

I've got the Vermont City Marathon this Sunday. Monday and Tuesday will be off days due to long shifts at work and the need for sleep so I don't know if I feel like cramming in mileage later in the week just to get 40.

Mon: off.
Tue: off.
Wed: 7.8 MP
Thurs: 6.2 EZ. Totally carb depleted!
Fri: off.
Sat: 2.8
Sun: 26.2 (3:35:06) + .8 wu.

TOTAL = 43.8

Re: 40/40 Tally and Week Ending May 27

It wasn't pretty but I made it last week with 45.4. That number was way too low.

This week will be much better.

M - rest
T - 7.12
W - 4 x 1000 meters, plus warm up and cool down
T - 60 to 70 minutes on trails
F - I'll be on the Western States course. 2 x's Michigan Bluff.
S - 31 miles on the course
S - 20 more miles on the course.

I'll be back on Tuesday of next week.
