Week 33 2014 Recap

August 18 - August 24

I am back on a more normal schedule this week and built up to a big effort on Sunday.  MY FIRST GOOD RUN SINCE THE VT100!  It was a slower pace, but the terrain is big and the trail is slow going, so I was happy with this run.  I got some time on the trail, ate well, and felt strong at the end.  Finally, feeling like I might be able to race come September!  Now I need some consistency in my runs.

Summary of Week 33:
M    16.3 mile dirt road/trail run in Castleton
T     OFF
W    5.5 mile rail trail easy run
Th   OFF
F     7.2 mile dirt road run, better effort 
S     OFF
S     19.2 mile STEEP trail run, Pico Mtn and Killington X2 (5,461)

Weekly Totals:
Run distance:                     48.1 miles

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!
