Week 37 2014 Recap

September 8 - 14

One week until Virgil Crest and I am feeling pretty good!  A pretty easy week, but Sunday's run took a bit more of a toll on the body than I would have wanted.  I was running all of the small trails on Bird mountain that I usually pass over and they were wicked steep!  My legs were a bit sore the next day after the effort, but I am still feeling strong.

M    OFF
T     2.9 mile Harvest Moon Hike (1200')
W    OFF
Th   7.4 mile trail/dirt road run
F     OFF
S     10.6 mile hilly trail/dirt road run (1370')
S     6.3 mile Bird Mountain Hill Fest (2230')

Weekly Totals:
Run distance:                     27.2 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!
