Hey everyone, I ran chicago in 2:53 in october and ran around 85-90 MPW in that training cycle. I took a month off, and now getting back into it. last 2 weeks I ran around 60 mpw and this week planning on closer to 70. I do not have a race scheduled anytime soon. Next marathon will most likely be in september 2019. However, I would like to increase my mileage for that race to around 100 mpw. Should I stick around 70 or so until closer to race? or bump up to 90?
thanks
Just make the jump.
Stick to 70-80 in the winter if you're in a fairly icy and cold area that's prone to having snowstorms that make it difficult to run. Don't need to be getting injured. Also, september is a long ways off so you can keep the early months fairly low for now. If you're not planning on taking a break in training until that september race, you could probably just v slowly build to 90-100 by the end of April/May. This gives you for sure 3-4 months of time spent at 100 miles, which is plenty.
id roll with 80s still until it warms up and focus more on other stuff like strength/core training or cross training
then when it gets warm bump that mileage into the 90s
