July Totals

A little more than a month ago I put together a training schedule for the Houston Marathon. Each day is mapped out until the marathon on January 18, 2009. It's flexible from a long term perspective, but I'm relatively true to the schedule during the current week and month.

So far:
Weeks until marathon, week beginning, weekly mileage, total time, average pace
30, 6/22/08, 56.60, 7:47:26, 8:16
29, 6/29/08, 58.15, 7:40:46, 7:55
28, 7/6/08, 60.36, 7:45:01, 7:42
27, 7/13/08, 54.82, 7:30:07, 8:13
26, 7/20/08, 68.79, 9:25:12, 8:13
25, 7/27/08, 59.42, 8:13:11, 8:18

My goal is to work up to several 70 mile weeks prior to the marathon. I'm accomplishing this by adding several easy runs while keeping my speed work and threshold work relatively constant.

This week's schedule is a typical week:
Sunday 12M long @ 7-8
Monday AM 6M easy @ 8-9, PM 6M easy @ 8-9
Tuesday PM 3M speed work with 2 WU + 2 WD
Wednesday AM 6M easy @ 8-9, PM 6M easy @ 8-9
Thursday PM 5M Threshold @ 6:20-6:40 with 2 WU + 2 WD
Friday Rest
Saturday 16M long @ 8-9
Total: 68M
