Novemburr Run Challenge (Page 2)

I'd like to join - I didn't do October's challenge but I need the accountability and the discipline.

I'm Mountain.

ETA: I put myself down for 16 sessions - the past couple months I've fallen off the training wagon (see the "Boyfriend and I broke up" thread in CoJ...sigh) ... and I don't think I can handle the pressure of distance and time. I just need to get on that tready 16 times, and I'll be happy with what I've accomplished.

Ok I am all setup in the spreadsheet for the Eastern TZ - Michigan.  I am hoping to get to 150 miles for the month which may be a bit ambitious.  I was at 140 last month but we also had 5 weekends .

I have one race scheduled...a 4.5 mile trail race that is just down the road at the State Park.  Other than that, I am just trying to safely build mileage to set me up for a great spring race season where I hope to go Sub :39 for a 10K and Sub :60 for a 15K.

I am roughly following the Barry P 1:2:3 program which is popular over on Slowtwitch and I really like the structure right now.  I am currently at 4-8-12 so I have 3 short runs of 4 miles, 2 medium runs at 8 miles and 1 long run at 12 miles.  I am adding some intensity to one of the medium runs at this point.

Had an 8 mile run yesterday...4-5 miler scheduled today at lunch.

yeats - 2011-11-02 9:47 AM I wanna play! Plenty of running planned for November up here in Michigan, so I could use some extra challenge motivation to get out the door these dark mornings. I'm building toward a couple of 50k trail runs this winter, and I might sneak in a HM road race for giggles this month. I signed up for 280 miles (with a super secret goal of breaking 300, shhhhh) under the Eastern TZ team...so long as they'll take me in

Awesome.  You are an animal.  What HM are you looking at?

Ryan is in?  Dang!  He should be looking at a 500 mile month at sub-7:30/mile.

I saw this Midland Half Marathon for a ridiculously awesome $25, and you get a hat or gloves as a race entry gift. Can't lose, right?

Nice find.  It looks like they have a winter half marathon series in Mount Pleasant...could be fun . 

I think I want to play!  Off season but doing 2 races this month and I want to lay a foundation for prep period....

So lets see = 10% limit over last month + extra 50% mileage on race days is that right?

So I could go 66.1 miles + bonus mileage of 6.3 for 2 races so my goal limit would be 72.4??
