I've learned from the legend Sange Candady that it's good to have A goals, B goals, and C goals. Toyko is my A goal.

Decent week. Going to go for a 6ish mile run tonight to cap off the week. Should hit 75 this week.
Goal for next week: 80 - 90 miles
Planned on running slower than I ended up running this week. Might run slower next week. Probably going to do more 4/8-10 doubles instead of 6/6 doubles. Have no major pain.
I think I'm going to race a 5k on 8/18 as a fitness test.
Also, if I think that I might be overtraining a bit, can I keep increasing my mileage if I slow down the pace of my runs and not risk serious overtraining/injury?

Yes, just slow down your easy runs to a 8 minute pace, than it will be near impossible to over train.
Ok cool I will run 8 min pace tonight

Epic week. Truly incredible. Probably was not smart to do a tempo the day after mile repeats. Also probably was not smart to do a tempo without warming up.
Targeting a road 5k on 8/18 with an A goal of going sub 16 and a B goal of going sub-1630. The repeats workout has me optimistic about going sub 16.
Goal for next week: 85-100
Strava is saying that the grade adjusted pace for the tempo was 5:37 so ignore my elevation gains I guess
Looking strong bro!
Keep doing what you are doing and dont get too tempted to open up the throttle.. 100 next week?
Thank you. Possibly but probably more like 90.
I’m impressed man keep up the good work and fvck everyone that told you not to start running high mileage cause they don’t want you to be great. It’s all about the aerobic system and it seems to be working for you so far. Good luck man. Excited for your race. Are you going to run any less the week or two of or before your race?
thank you.. they could be right though it hasn't been very long and I wouldn't say 88 is mega miles. But yes it does seem to be working I feel strong. I'm not going to change anything before the race. It isn't important and I'll use it as a workout. The important race I have been preparing for is a cross country 6k on 9/2 against KU UMKC Oral Roberts and I'll take it easy before that one for sure.
My teammate in college ran over 100 mpw and I ran 40-60 mpw and I still kicked his ass every race. Mileage does not = greatness. Becoming a "monster" in running is multi-faceted. Consistency, proper rest, diet, a good set of workouts, hydrated, etc...
You look really good though. You have the right ideas. Don't do hard days back to back. Your body is already stressed out. Wait like 1.5-2 more months and your aerobic shape will be off the charts. That's when you start to hammer workouts.
Thanks. Happy with where I'm at since I wasn't running at all before like 12 weeks ago and I feel like I'm already in better shape than I was in high school. Excited to see where I'm at in 2 months.

Been having some stomach problems that have cut a few of my runs short this week/caused me to run slow. Trying to figure it out. Ran a bit less than I intended this week.
Going to run again tonight 6-11 miles. Will hit 80-85 for the week.
Goal for next week: 80-90
The premise for this post was mega miles but I think that staying around 80-90 for a bit will be best.
Do you have any goal races you are currently training for?
