goofy training week 15

recap of training week 15 (12/15-12/21):
[day - mileage, time, avg hr]
mon - 7 easy, 1:03:34, 149
tue - 11.75 (7xmile), 1:37:33, 171
wed - 7 easy, 1:05:50, 150
thu - off (swapped with friday, again)
fri - 8 tempo, 1:01:32, 176
sat - 9 easy, 1:27:17, 158
sun - 20 progressive, 2:48:56, 161

mileage total - 62.75 (finally, a new record high)

the easy runs felt junky this week but that's ok as long as i can have quality hard(er) runs. the weather was extra nice all week. i can't believe i complained about the 60/70 degrees, as it was 21 degrees when i woke up this morning. (i'm sorry mr. warm front! please come back.) this was my last tough/high-mileage week before goofy and i hope i don't go nuts with the reduced mileage. the excessive christmas cookies aren't going to help much either!

  6. burger - i pretty much made up my own. if i remember back to august correctly, it was probably based on one of hal higdon's advanced plans? just tried to do excessive long runs in preparation for goofy since it's a half and full back-to-back. i'm thinking about trying a pfitz or daniels program for '09, and also considering getting a coach. (but part of me wants to reach my goals "all by myself")

    kevin - i'm planning on racing the half hard, hopefully a 1:35-1:38, and i'm not too sure how perky i'll feel the next day for the full. hopefully under 4 hours, but i won't be too disappointed as long as the half goes well.
