Okay, I'm 20yrs old, not that fast, infact I'm damn slow.
PR is 19:05 for 5K, quit running to dedicate myself to college and other things; finally decided a few weeks ago to say screw that and get back to running.
Anyway, 3yrs ago I peaked at 70mpw, pushing the everday miles at 10k + 30-40 seconds per mile. With this being the fastest I ever pushed myself I PRed in 5K by 50 seconds, and then I quit running (the goal was to drop from 70 to 40 and sharpen up for 5K with speed workouts; never did it though).
So I started running consistently again, and now I'm upping the mileage. I decided I'd follow Lyliard's style, 100mpw, fast runs. Now, does anyone have a base schedule of Lyliard, or something they've seen someone try, or any advice? I have the time to put in 14-17hrs a week of running.
I have some friends that want me to run 1/2's with them in Sep & Oct, I'll throw these into my training as hard aerobic runs as at least the one in Oct should be inline with this. I figure it'll take me 5-7weeks to go from now (I just jumped back in heavy, so went from 0 to 25 to on pace for 45-50 this week) to get to 100 on a steady increase.
Yes, I know it's "dumb" to jump mileage so fast. But I've never been one of those people to enjoy 30-40mpw and tons of it fast repeats. I also enjoy taking risks. If I destroy my ability, well hell it ain't that good right now so we'll take a shot.
