Week 31 2014 Recap

August 4 - August 10

Piling three days in a row at the end of the week was still really tough for me.  Fridays run went well, Sat was okay, and Sun felt like more of a marathon than 12 miles.  Still having some digestive issues.  I had to stop to vomit three times on the run.  I think there might still be some of the 30 GU packets in my stomach from the VT100.  I am staying optimistic, but currently do not feel awesome.

Summary of Week 31:
M    OFF
T     6.2 miles dirt road/trail run decent effort
W    OFF
Th   OFF
F     6.7 mile hilly road run in Barre VT
S     6.5 mile trail run on Quarry Rd, Waterville, ME
S     12.2 mile dirt road/trail run, Pong Hill Loop (1520' elevation gain)

Weekly Totals:
Run distance:                     31.7 miles 
Total run elevation gain:     3,182 feet 
Total run time:                     5 hours 2 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!
