So, over the next 3 months I have going to increase my running mileage to approximately 50 miles per week. After that I am going to cut back for several weeks and then resume training. I would like to run all of the build races that I did last year leading up to the Mardi Gras marathon. However, this time I would like to max out at close to 70 miles a week. If I can accomplish these goals progressively and injury free then I truly believe a sub 3 hour marathon is possible.
The heat has been overwhelming but I have managed several runs at the noon hour. The heat has taken a toll on the pace but they have been solid runs. My mileage this week is at nearly 20 miles.
Now back to the current. I have received so many positive responses’ regarding http://hattiesburgmultisport.com/ . I have added a calendar of standing group rides, runs and swims. The calendar has really filled out. Just a little bit of PR has gone a long ways.
The Wednesday Night
When I got home I looked like I had just gotten out of the swimming pool. I was soaked to the core from the intensity.
70 miles a wekk running wow...you da man! Also 28 – 29 MPH is super fast It will be a long time before I can join a ride like that. Congrats on the early success of http://hattiesburgmultisport.com/ !
ReplyDelete70 miles a week is a hefty goal. I know of all people you will be able to achieve it, quality miles too I am sure!
ReplyDeleteI never in my life want to bike with you. You are insane. Simple. HAHA.
Great job on the multisport club, that is really cool that you were able to have a hand in it and there was such a large interest!
Keep up the good work!
Nice ride! Good luck increasing your run mileage.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you reaching your goal mileage. I'm at 50 right now for my November marathon, hoping to hit low- to mid-60s. I do think the higher mileage goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteWow! Good luck with 50 miles per week. Awesome to see you will be running Boston next year!
ReplyDeleteThat's some serious mileage James! Once I start to get close to 50, things start to break : )
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love when our evening rides turn into races, which happens a lot. I'm qualified for Boston but need to make a decision maybe around January if I'm going to sign up or not. Depends on who all is going.
