Subject: RE: Run 100 miles in February!Originally posted by kloofyroland 23.43 miles.  You can't do much running where you're going Sous? I can do all my planed runs... question is will I! This is my winter escape from the cold DC winters so there will be beaches to lounge on, tasty drinks with paper umbrellas to drink, nightlife and entertainment to enjoy, and for better or worse, temps in the upper 80's (great for the pool and beach, craptacular for running). On the one hand it will be nice to be able to go out and run in shorts and a singlet, but on the other hand the various other temptations will be strong. The good thing is that my last "hard" weekend is planned for the first weekend I'm away. I plan (again plan is the operative word), to move up my last 10 mile pace run and 20 mile LSD run to Friday and Saturday (1st and 2nd full day) that way my motivation is high and I can push myself to get it done. After those two runs, I move into my 3 week taper so I'll be less pressed if a planned 10 miler turns into a 6 or 7 miler, or if I skip a planed 4 mile recovery run altogether and opt instead for a long bike ride on the rented beach cruiser. |
