Weekly Training Update: September 1 - 7

Going into the fifth week of my fall marathon training I decided to lower my weekly mileage goals. I feel I set them too high initially. I still believe they were attainable but now I’m thinking probably not necessary to run a decent marathon. The more I looked at the schedule, the more it looked like a 50K training plan. Maybe I will use it for that purpose next year.

As you can see I was right on target this week.

Actual vs. Planned
Total Miles: 24 - 24
Long Run: 12 - 12
# of Runs: 4 - 4
Avg. Miles: 6 - 6
Trail Miles: 50%
