Observations: I thought it was a big week and it was … mileage PR by 6-7 miles, largely driven by the double on Tuesday. While I’m still debating when exactly to officially “start” marathon training, it’s time to let the miles start to creep upward. I noticed significant improvement after increasing to 30-40 mpw over the last 8 months from 20-25 mpw. Over the last 5 months, I’ve introduced speedwork with the team. It’s time for another phase, increasing the base more. As always, I’d be interested in your thoughts here, but I see the most efficient way to add miles is to throw a double in the mix once a week. There will come a time when double digits daily runs and real LR’s will take over, but for now, splitting up the work seems to make sense.
