Note:
goal this week 25
Reminder: The general philosophy on the blog is that the best way to train for a marathon is primarily by base training 6 days a week. As you increase your weekly mileage, you will naturally get faster. 3-4 days a week may help you finish a marathon, but will not give the same results as daily running. And speedwork can help somewhat once you have a solid aerobic base (at least 40 miles/week, preferrably 60+ miles/week).
results - week of painting the house every evening untl 2am really, just could not run
weekly total - 12.6 (but hey it is december and i am still running | |
