I have been increasing my mileage for the past few months. I felt great after that off-road marathon in November, but this has been the best month ever.
Last week my mileage was 50 for the first time. I ran an 18 mile long run yesterday, that I kept getting faster and faster. Today I ran a smoking 8 miles. I still have a couple more weeks of training, one more 20 mile run (I did one last week) and then it is taper time, for the marathon on February 10!
My goal is a 3:55 which means a 9 minute pace. If I feel like I did today, I will most certainly make that.
I know the weekly totals says 49 miles, but the calibration has been fixed, it was short. There are a few workouts missing so some of the short weeks really aren't.
