yep, get it started on monday and folks will start posting
Yeah, I'd be game. Me and the lovely Mrs Pete have Philly pencilled in, after a late September half. Hoping to race a 10,000 in three weeks to close out summer track season, then change gears toward the longer stuff. Gotta deal with a niggly foot thing first though...
I'm in.
Ditto, from a first-timer on the fall training thread
I'm interested. If all goes well I'll be running Twin Cities on Oct 5. I'll look for the new thread on Monday.
Good idea.

So are you all just in base phases now, building up weekly totals?

Nope. I'm in summer track season, running relatively light mileage (say 50-60 mpw avg) and running short, fast races (800-3000). Prior to summer track, however, I had a few months of more solid volume (80-90 avg), and the volume will go back in August-September (HM preparation), aiming for a late fall marathon (Philly, for now anyway).
Mind you, my foot is injured at the moment so I've suspended my track season for at least a couple of weeks, and I'm furiously cross training instead of running. Got my fingers crossed it'll be good to race a 10000 on 6 August, which would be the definite end of summer track.
I spent 14 weeks from March 31 - Mid June building up my mileage slowly from 70-75 per week to 100-105 per week. I have now added in some quality work (although still long focused) and plan to run 3 half marathons about 5-6 weeks apart starting in mid August (Aug 16, Sep 20, Nov 1). 6 weeks after the third half I plan to run the Thunder Road Marathon on Dec 13th.
I'll be in too- Chicago.
I actually start my real training program this coming monday. Up until now I've been building base, was up to 100mpw but have just had two down weeks for an IT/Patellafemoral pain issue. I'm back to ~70 this week and hopefully will be all good to get into the harder training going forward.
I'm also in base training.
Race: Twin Cities Oct 5
Goal Time: 2:35
I'll be pacing either the 3:10 or 3:00 group in Chicago the week after TCM.
Past 8 week avg: 70 miles
Hope to avg 80-90 going forward
June races: 34:11 10K and 1:14:06 1/2 Marathon
May race: 2:47 marathon
The majority of my running is done on the roads. Fast stuff is typically tempo runs, alternate miles and races. Otherwise trials of miles.
As a general sort of concept, how long should a "base" period be? and when does that transition into "build-up", and then "peaking"?
For example, let's say you have 8 months to train:
4 months for base
3 months for build-up.
1 month to peak.
Or do you just gradually aim to work in more speed and longer distance/duration as you approach your goal?

3 1/2 months. I was going along pretty well building a base when I lost two weeks with a knee issue. Now I'm scrambling to gradually build back up.
