Running Around 6-11-06

More base mileage this week. Let's do a road run of whatever distance you feel gives you a good workout. 8-10 miles seems reasonable to me. For road racers, we have a few more weeks of base building, so enjoy the easy running while you can. Use this time to build your mileage without the added stress of track workouts.

I won't be at the track this week since I have to travel for work, but if anyone is interested in running an easy 10 or so on Wednesday, drop me an email.

If you feel like doing a track workout for summer racing, Anne has a good summer workout schedule. See her at the track for more details. I'm sure she would love some training partners.

Fall marathoners ... this is the first week of a 20-week training cycle. You should start this cycle at the proper time for your marathon. If you are running Chicago or Marine Corps, start this week. If you're running NYC or Chickamauga, keep working on base training.

Tuesday: 4-6x 1600@T with 1 minute rest + 4 x striders
Weekend: Long run ... start building
