Basically, there are a several short runs and one long run each week. The long run is surrounded by days of rest and increases by a mile or two each week until a couple of weeks before the race, then tapers off. Here's how the long runs work out:
- March 24: 9 miles
- March 31: 10 miles
- April 7: 11 miles
- April 14: 12 miles
- April 21: 12 miles
- April 28: 13 miles
- May 5: 14 miles
- May 12: 16 miles
- May 19: 16 miles
- May 26: 18 miles
- June 2: 16 miles
- June 9: 20 miles
- June 16: 18 miles
- June 23: 16 miles
- June 30: 6 miles
- July 7: Rest
- July 12: 26.2 miles
So far, so good - but it'll be interesting when I get up to that 16- to 20-mile zone, and then the race.
