Can't believe it, we started to discuss a Taper which is coming soon. The only problem is that I have to survive to get to that blessed period of time!
Here's my point, to be clear: I'm planning to have 5 continuous weeks with weekly mileage, let me guesstimate it - about 80 mpw.
Short disclaimer, just to be on the safe side: "about 80 mpw" means less or more. Also hope not to get injured doing a highest possible, well for me, mileage.
Andrew went to
He supports me in my attempt to get the mileage. But warned me recently:
You work too hard sometimes. You are driven to succeed but I am worried that you will leave your race in your training.
I won't.
Yep, coach will have to say something about that. We haven't talked about it yet.
As Andrew mapped it out for me, I'm finishing now 1st week out of four.
May be, beginning from July 15th I will start doing something special - can't read coach's mind. Hope to be able to hit 80 miles anyway.
Do I have enough time to make those mad weeks? here's how I visualize it to myself.
June, Sun 24 - Sat 30: ~80 mi
July, Sun 08 - Sat 14: ~80 mi
July, Sun 15 – Sat 21: ~80 mi
July, Sun 22 - Sat 28: .... mi
I guess it is called Andrew's Stage #3. Week 1.
Su, 6/17, PM: 21 mi, 3:17:03, pace 9:23. Longest & Hardest workout
Mo, 6/18, PM: 5.03 mi, at 8:24. EZ refreshing work
Didn't fulfill coach's plan Once - plan was 12 mi
Didn't fulfill twice / plan was 15 easy. Sorry coach.
Got to run. Now.
