Week 7 2014 Recap

Back to some long weekend miles after a lower mileage week.  I actually felt pretty good on my 20 miler after a 25 miler the day before.  It was meant to be a bit slower of a run and it was definitely a sluggish start.  After about 45 mins I was good to go and the rest of the run was done in good spirits.  I am planning on doing the Peak Races Snowshoe Marathon next weekend in Pittsfield, VT.  26.2 miles with 5200' of vertical.

Summary of Week 7:
M    OFF
T     8.3 mile Griffin Hill Loop (7:34 pace)
W    6.6 mile XC Classic (waxless) ski w/ headlamp on VAST trails
Th   7.4 mile Castleton-Pond Hill Loop
F     OFF
S     25.1 mile run (1900' vertical)
S     20.0 mile run (1980' vertical)

Weekly Totals:
Run distance:                    60.8 miles (67.4 miles run & ski)
Total run elevation gain:    4,846 feet (6,047' run & ski)
Total time all activities:       9 hours 33 mins

I just started ultra running in 2013. I have done a couple Ironman triathlons then I did not train much for about 3 years. On July 27, 2013, after a long bike ride with some friends I got the itch and signed up for the Virgil Crest 50 mile ultra. I was able to place second overall and tie the previous course record. My longest week included a 27 mile run and a weekly total of 50 miles. I am curious what I can do with adequate training ...

I attempt to take advantage of each season and cross train as much as possible to prepare for my upcoming 2014 ultra running races. Below you will find excerpts from my training days and races. You can search the blog for individual race reports or other key words on the bottom right-hand side. I work full-time as a professor at Castleton State College, so I utilize weekends for longer workouts and do what I can during the week.

Let me know if you want to go for a run!
