Week 32 2014 Recap

August 11 - August 17

After my sub-par 12 mile run last week I decided to take some time off this week, to give my body a little extra time to grab some energy and allow my digestive issues to work themselves out.  Three weeks after the VT100 and I am certainly not recovered yet in more ways than one.  I decided to follow this up with a bigger run to see if the rest during the week did anything.  Overall, I felt pretty good for the first half on Sat, but the end was a bit of a slog and I was feeling pretty sapped.  I am starting to eat a bit on my runs again.

Summary of Week 32:
M    OFF
T     OFF
W    OFF
Th   OFF
F     OFF
S     15.1 mile trail run, Okemo Mountain Yo-yo, STEEP (4,128' elevation gain)
S     OFF

Weekly Totals:
Run distance:                     15.1 miles 
Total run elevation gain:     4,128 feet 
Total run time:                     3 hours 12 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!
