Under mileage again and a shorter long-run than planned.
There’s some warmer weather forecasted this week, so I expect to put in at least 35 miles.

55K Training Week 3 – 24.8 miles

Week 2 was shitty. I only got 11 miles in due to the weather. Though, I probably could have ran.
Anyway, here’s to week 3 being better.
by First Week of 55K Training Complete
Been doing a lot of reading and ended up modifying the hal higdon novice 2 with back-to-back runs on the weekend.
Finished up the first week with 36 miles. Going to be staying at a minimum of 35 mpw with two peaks of 45 mpw. My longest run will be 20 miles (twice).
Elevation gain & trail running are two things I will be concentrating on. I want to ensure I can handle the course elevation ( two loops of ascent 747m / descent 743m)
Fun times!

Still Training, just not posting (Week 6)
On week 6 of the HAL HIGDON plan and will most likely be resetting the program in the new year to match up with a race date.
I’ve been waffling back and forth between doing a road marathon or a trail race (55k) in 2016: Maritime Auto Marathon (in New Glasgow, NS) or Wascally Wabbit 2016 (in Folly Lake, NS).
I’m really leaning towards the trail race

Published on 25 Aug 2015
This is an account of the Bigfoot 200 Endurance Run, a 205 mile point to point trail race starting at Mt. St. Helens in Washington state. It could be the toughest point to point foot race in North America. The terrain is unrelenting and brutal. The views are varied and panoramic. There is 50,000+ feet of climbing and about the same of descent. http://www.bigfoot200.com/

Little late posting but …
Week two ended up being my highest mileage week so far (37.2 miles) and I ran off the training plan in regards to distance. Continue reading “Hal Higdon Week 2 Training”
by Stronglifts and Running
Back in April, I ran the Stronglifts 5×5 program for a couple of months but ended up dropping it so I could focus on running. So many things were going on at that point that I couldn’t sustain the energy demand of both exercises.
Fast-forward six months, after getting a bit of a mileage base (almost 500 miles), I think I’m ready to start back again.
How do I fit it into the schedule?
- Sunday – Stronglifts
- Monday – Rest
- Tuesday – Running in morning, Stronglifts in evening.
- Wednesday – Running
- Thursday – Running in morning, Stronglifts in evening.
- Friday – Rest
- Saturday – Long ass run.
Pretty simple, eh?
Tues and Thurs are my short run days (4 miles).
I hope this is maintainable as the weight goes up. That seemed to be the sticking point for me last time.
We’ll see how it goes.
