Miles and Miles

The return of the Trials of Miles. I really do enjoy running good miles and a good pace. I have been very healthy and, although it may be a tactical error in getting race-ready, I think the potential benefits outweigh the potential costs. I am going to put in a slew of miles here in the next few months and see how my body reacts. I have had some of the best racing of my life off 80-100 miles per week. I do believe that I can run strong and fast at 50 miles a week, and race very competitively, but if I want to race a a top-level, I need to put in some big miles to compliment and help with the speed. I will take it easy and make sure that my legs are responding well. So far, so good. I did a 16.5 miler, and I do 10 most days at lunch, and then go home and run with my dog. The hope is to keep the 400 repeats going once a week, and pick a day that I feel good and get some good tempo work in. I will write more in a bit about it all and the progress, but for now, I must go run.
