Got two ten milers done on Saturday and Sunday thanks to my neighbors and friends. and finished with my first 30 mile week in this training plan. I will be above 30 miles 7 more times in the next 14 weeks, for comparison, the build up to the Wisconsin Marathon only got me over 30 miles 3 times.
- So today's 10 miler, when you back out warmups and cool-downs was the following in terms of minutes per mile my times were 13:18, 13:06, 13:08, 12:52, 13:31, 12:14, 12:40, 11:52
Negative Splits! Miles 1-4 52:32 and miles 5-8 50:20 also an average time of 12:50 per mile.
- The two midweek runs were decent but not great, the speed work was fine until I was ejected backwards from the treadmill, when I decided to stop before the treadmill did. Not the smartest or safest thing I have ever done.
- My nutrition plan seems to be working, I feel like I have quite a bit of power, during my runs, and my recovery from 10 milers, seems minimal, Sunday evening 12 hours later zero soreness, in fact I could probably go do it again. Not a bad feeling to have.
Next week I have a bigger week, planned, 8, 7, 10 and 15, the jump from 30 in a week to 40 in a week might be to much, so I may reduce the midweek mileage, by 3, and the long runs by 2, and bring my mileage in at 35, which would keep with my rule of only increasing mileage 15%
