well...last week didn't go so great. i think i got in something like 15 miles in 3 days (mon, wed, thurs).
I haven't run since then - yesterday by the time I got back from the airport it was time for practice and it was getting dark by the time I got home. Today I was just fucking lazy. Got to get back on my horse!
Had a great chat with Dave about training. Here are the bullet points of my general plan:
-increase mileage to around 60 mi/week
-increase long runs to around 20 mi/week
- this will probably take a while...repeating distances some weeks
-once/week do a long tempo run at marathon pace, which i'm thinking will be around 7:00-7:30
- gradually increase the distance of this workout
-every other week do a hill workout, gradually increasing volume
-on alternating weeks, do some sort of a "pr course". this is a run that starts and finishes at the house and is a set distance that i can repeat and try to "pr" on. i have one that is 4.5, and another that is 9 (which i won't do for a few months) but i need to figure out one that is somewhere in between - maybe around 7.
-next spring/summer, try to get up to do long runs on marathon course
time to get cracking on this. if my legs feel remotely good tomorrow morning, once i've gotten warmed up, i'd like to do some hills.
