Of course I did. Make a statement like "run every day" and then miss two in a row. I'm still working on this is "for fun" and "stay healthy" and "I don't race anymore." I mean that's what I want to achieve, but string together 3 weeks of training and your all in. If I'm honest with myself, I need to run when I can and when I'm banged up I need to rest. Now it's my hip. Back to reality.
Which leads me to something I have always considered. What would be the perfect weekly training regiment for me, right now. Not someone else and not 10 - 20 - 30 years ago. The goal would be to get the most out of the least. Since I don't race short anymore I'd bag speed work...which is nice. The key would be being able to do it week in and week out.
18 - 10 - 5 - 8 - 13.1 - 8 - 0 = 62.1 (100K)
or
2:40 - 1:25 - 45 - 1:10 - 2:00 - 1:10 = 9:05
Why wouldn't 9 a day work for 63? How sweet would that be? Going on vacation soon, I will try and let you know.
Steve = Did you get hurt? Sounds like a bunch of the Cheeseheads are going up for the Superior weekend. I'm from PA originally and you need to live here like 25 years and catch a Muskie to be considered.
25 years is nothing in my neighborhood. My neighbor complains that I still refer to his house as "Swanson's," even though he's been there 42 years. You have to be second or third generation before you belong.
ReplyDeleteI've been seriously ill off-and-on for an entire year and I just don't see being able to put in the time to run long any more (especially since I'm mostly fast-twitch fibers).
