Nice weeks

Runninlaw & Tuscaloosa - There may be a better shoes for me, but I started with the asics 1060s and they worked fine, so I have been with the series ever since - No issues - No experimenting (I had bought 10 pair of the 1100s - I am still trying to chew through them)

My goal for the week was 100 miles on main run of the day and 130 total with recovery runs - I will post main run

M - 10 Easy
T - 16 with 4x4:45 @ I pace
W - 10 Easy (1 mile FF - Fast Finish)
TH - 20 with 5 @ T pace (at end of run)
F - 10 Easy
SA - 18 Easy(2 mile FF)
SU - 16 Easy

100 miles on main runs and 36 on 7 recovery runs for a total of 137 miles - Tuesday I was dehydrated a little and it was a rough one, but the rest of the week went well -

Good running to all -

zoomharp - Way to pull it out in the face of adversity - Its all relative.

When I run its "me" time - I relax, contemplate life, pray - today I was just kindof cruising along - feeling like I was out for a Sunday drive - relaxing, enjoyable - I was tempted to keep running, but all good things must come to an end. Its what I chose to do with my time.

Whats with the new shoes this week? I just upgraded my old DS trainer 11's to the 12's. Well I'm working them in anyway. Still in the 11's but I figure I better get used to a shoe in case my 11's die before the big day. Thats all I need is shoe issues 4 weeks out if ya feel what I'm sayin. Anyways I did 1 run in them and I guess they felt good...too soonto tell.

Anyways here's my week following a recovery week-

M-weights and core
T-6 jogging(9:20)w/ light striders
W-8.53 aerobic(9:02) planned longer but ran out of time
TH-13 aerobic progression(9:02)
F-core stability workout
S-5 miles jogging on rock trail(11:13)
SU- 16 miles(8:05) w/ 12@ goal marathon pace(7:45)-evaulation run

Week went well. Planning on starting the next phase soon as todays run gives me the OK. Just a few more stamina workouts and I should be good to go. I'm glad that i made it through the base and stamina phases good. Aerobic capacity training for me is a walk in the park once I got the endurance and stamina in the bag. Finally got my strength and power where I want it to be so I'm planning on cutting wayyy back on weight training(phew, thank goodness). Intense intervals will take care of my fast twitch guys.

Anyways it's great too see everyone's training. It keeps me motivated. I sure thought marathon training would be easier. Boy was I wrong. I'm not even doing half of what some of you are so it's a great motivator to read's yalls training.

run strong

RFR:

I asked this last week, but maybe you didn't get it or didn't have a chance to respond. Curious: on your general aerobic runs when you're MPW is 100=>, what's your avg. pace?

I'm finding mine is kinda slow, though not I'm not too bothered by it...

Hi all, great running everyone! Here was my week:

M: 50mins trails
T: 8 mi - 6 @ 6:20, +1mi wmup, 1mi cldwn
W: 6mi @ 8:45
T: 6 mi @ 9:00
F: 18mi @ 8:00
S: OFF
S: 6 @ 8:00

I have a trail half marathon coming up next Sunday, so cut back a little on the volume. I did my long run on Friday so I would have a couple extra days to recover. It also meant I could run it on part of my marathon course before work. However, this also meant I had to get up at 4:20 am

I plan on taking this week very easy in prep for the trail race. It is an insane course, but also one of my favorite races -- I can't wait! Though, I am completely paranoid that I will break a leg or something and ruin my goal marathon...

Goal: Sacramento Cowtown (sub-3)
Week 5/15 Benji Durden Marathon Plan

Weird week for me as I was out of town from Thursday to Sunday. I always enjoy running in new places and seeing new things. My main concern was getting my Long Run in somehow. Woke up early Saturday while everyone was sleeping. I had 2 hours 45 min scheduled (20+ miles). Noticed about 10 minutes into the run that my Garmin was fading out. It was completely gone at 15 minutes. This was on a fresh charge too. Not the best scenario. Running in a foreign place with no watch nor mile estimates. About 20 minutes into the run I hit my first noticeable Mile Marker on Hwy 101 on the Oregon Coast. From there I did eight miles out and eight mile back. Figured I did approximately 6 additional mile on that, giving me a total of 22. Looking at the clock when I got back, I was gone over 3 hours. Pretty happy with the way I felt aerobically. Strong like I could have gone for another hour, but I am still having problems with my foot. Got real numb about 2:15 into the run and was causing some problems. Still don't know if it is some sort of nerve entrapment or sciatic related. Going to see a neuro soon (have a call back today). Hopefully I get a nerve conduction test / EMG and we can find out what the **** is going on. Marathon is in doubt at this point. Anyway, here was the rest of the week.

M - 40 min
T - AM 22 min wup + 8 x 1/4 mile hill repeats (4.0% grade) @ tempo pace (6:20 effort) + 20 min wdn PM 36 min
W - 35 min (elliptical) still a little sore from yesterday. Residual fatigue from Sunday's race + ART Therapy
T - Tempo Run 24 wup/22 wdn; 4(5t/1e)
F - 35 min
S - 3:00 (22 miles) Long Run. Oregon Coast. Reminded me of the Big Sur Marathon. A lot of up and down hills.
S - 35 min

Keeping my fingers crossed. I am having so much fun with the training. If I can just get my ailment taken care of, I will be thrilled. Hopefully it is nothing serious.
