This plan calls for the completion of 1,200 miles in the 24 weeks leading up to the race. So far the start is a little slow as I am nursing a little over-use foot injury cause from Light2Light50 a few weeks ago. However I am confident that this will not set me back and I have ample time to get the miles in I need.
This week as messed up from the start but I did get a Sat. long run in & If I have learned anything is that it’s time on your feet over miles completed that counts.
Plan Called for 35, I completed 25 with 2,300ft of elevation climb.
