The "build phase" of training is now done. I finished off the nine week cycle with a well run 18 miler on Saturday and a slow but steady 6 miler this morning. Details are available under "my running log" link on the right side of this blog page or you can view by clicking here. My training is nothing special, I only invite anyone that might be interested for the sake of collaboration between runners. I also invite anyone that views my log to provide any training tips or suggestions if you have any!
As a summary, here is a breakdown of the last nine weeks mileage:
Week 1: 3/21-3/27: 27
Week 2: 3/28-4/3: 26
Week 3: 4/4-4/10: 31.3
Week 4: 4/11-4/17: 39.9
Week 5: 4/18-4/24: 31.4
Week 6: 4/25-5/1: 27.4
Week 7: 5/2-5/8: 31.5
Week 8: 5/9-5/15: 42.4
Week 9: 5/16-5/22: 43.3
I'm thankful I was able to finish the last two weeks in the 40s, with next week beginning the "peak phase" of training I'll aim for my weekly distances to be in the 50s. Some of the preceding weeks were somewhat hindered with having to work weekends at the hospital, but so goes life. I've had a pretty good training cycle so far and hope to keep it up. Six weeks to go before my first 50!
