the new plan

December, January, February -- all disappointing training. The two big reasons were: 1) lots of extra hours at work, and 2) an ongoing lower back problem. Hopefully that's over with.

The new training plan is a 24 week schedule starting 5/3, ending 10/17 at the Baystate Marathon, with three "fitness check" races along the way:

1) 5K on 7/25
2) 10K on 8/22
3) half-marathon on 9/19

All of which are TBD. The next nine weeks will be base distance and striders with the occasional long run.

  1. you posted! It's like the beginning of a new era! If you can put up with a hilly course I will push Applefest at you, my very favorite race. It's 9/25 this year; plenty of time to recover before Baystate.

  2. I like it, I like it. I like your lineup and how you have a long range goal. Hopefully I can join you on some of those easy runs.
