Week 11 2104 Recap

I am really itching to get out on the trails again, but there is still nearly two feet of snow in the woods around the house.  I'm ready to get off the roads.  My knee was pretty sore for the end of my run today, otherwise my body is feeling good.  I plan on increasing my pool workouts with a mixture of lap swimming and aqua jogging this week so that I don't over do it.

W    6.9 mile run Pico Mtn Hill workout, snow (3,257')

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!
