NYC- goal 2:30-2:32

Good last week-101 miles, although pretty spent by the weekend. Last 4 weeks were 93, 87, 94 (all on 6 days--all with solid 20-24 mile Saturday runs),then the 101 (on 7 days--but with easier Sat. run).

Sunday-13 miles steady

Monday- 19 total

AM- 3 w/up, 8 x 5 mins. (1 min. jog rec.), 4 x 30 seconds (30 sec. rec. on track--last 200m 29 secs.), 3 w/d.

PM- 4 miles easy

Tuesday-12 miles easy

Wednesday- 12 total (Am- 6 easy, PM- 6 steady)

Thursday- 16 total

AM - 4 miles easy

PM-1 w/u, 10 miles @ 54:26, 1 w/d

Friday- 13 miles steady

Saturday- 19 miles

This will be a down week as I want to run the Toronto Waterfront Half. Will do three more big weeks and then 2 weeks taper to NYC. Legs are fried right now though.

BTW your speed workout indicates much better fitness than a 3:15. If your long runs went well you should be able to comfotrably hit your goal. The hard part for you will be to keep it slow enough in the early going. It's easy to get carried away in the beginning because the first few miles feel so easy. Nothing faster than 7 to 7:15 until you hit 15 miles, ok?

Thanks for the advice, Phreak. I'm coming back from a long, long layoff so I'm not trying to be a hero here - just punch my ticket to Boston. I'm hoping the race will just be a fast finish long run to get a few minutes below the qualifier, but I'm not going to take any chances.

Goal race: Amsterdam 21st october

Goal time: Qualify for 2008 Boston.

Good week for me. 71 miles of pretty good running. Got two longer runs in a fartlek and a MP 9 miler.

Looking forward to Amdam. I will be 40 next year so only need to do 3.20 but aim to run 3.10 or better on present form.

Good luck all!

re: Miles and Miles

Sorry to hear about that, I hope you get well for the marathon.

St. George - Oct. 6 - Goal Sub 2:50

Mon - 6 Miles

Tues - 9 miles 3 at a faster pace - stomach still giving me problems

Wed - 9 Miles Including 6 800's at a tempo pace - stomach problems again

Thurs - 4 AM, 9 PM - bad stomach still

Fri - 8

Sat - 16

Sun - 9.5 including a 5K, Got my butt kicked by Run7 but ran a 18:28 so I was happy.

Just 10 to go and I'm getting anxious with the taper and last minute worries.
