What sort of weekly base do you aim to have by the time you start your schedule?

Good going, that's a commitment on it's own.

So your peak mileage must be about 70-80? would that be about right?

FIRST THINGS FIRST

out of interest... how the hell do you manage to do 70-80miles a week..
i know a lot of it would be from a long run at a weekend... but how will the rest of the week break down?

probably, although when I did the Kent 52.4 mile ultra I don't think I got above 60 miles a week in training... I used marathons as training too.

At the moment I'm in the last 6 weeks of training for Amsterdam marathon so I'm up to about 45 to 50 miles a week. Did 20 yesterday.

Then I'm doing Hastings mara in December so I'll just try and keep the training up there and continue it on to Draycote, then on to Boston and London in April. I might have the odd easy week here and there

From April I'll keep the training going to Dartmoor Discovery in June, and then Kent 50 Challenge in August...

Finally after all that I should be ready to keep up with Steve in the L2B

Runners who get up to that mileage tend to run twice some days

I guess it will be something like that.

I'll be doing back to back long runs at the weekend....ie 20m Sat and 20m Sun most weeks with the odd long long run 30-40m every now and then.

I'll be running 10miles on Tuesdays/Thursdays and a shorter run on Wednesdays.

Obviously there'll be weeks that vary when I do a race to break the routine.

I'll also do two runs a couple of days a week tooto vary the schedule..ie two 5m runs on a Tuesday instead of one 10miler.


....off to lie down.....
