I ran 6.17 miles @ 9:30/mile pace in 58:40.  Pretty decent elevation and the tail and headwinds were amazing. 

January 2013 Summary

Mondays and Fridays OFF.  I ran all other days as per schedule.

Weekday Miles: 95.12

Total Miles: 191.26 (Scheduled Miles: 193)

Weekend Runs: 17+6, 15+10, 15+15, 13+5

This month I have been very consistent with running. 

Last year saw <1200 miles run.

I have doubled the mileage I usually do and instead of doing the suggested ten percent weekly increase, I increased the mileage by 100 percent.

Not a wise practice if one is to run at the same intensity as had been running – so I concluded that I would have to run Easy miles if I was going to do that kind of distance.  All miles were Easy pace in the 9:00-10:00 mile range.  Some splits were faster I am sure…but overall pace for the runs was within above stated range.  Some speedwork was done – minimal though. 

This month was only about getting consistent with running on the scheduled days, putting in the correct mileage, and ENDURANCE building.  I accomplished the three primary objectives. 

Thanks to Bryan, Marc, Bob, Theo, Steve, Rick and Mike – people I ran with on some of those runs.
