Right now Friday is my only morning off. Full day off, really, until or unless I start breaking up my weekend runs to include something short and easy on Friday evenings.
This type of thinking prompted me to look up how to run 100 miles in a week. Turns out many TADs are used, copied from LetsRun:
Here is a 100.1 mile week
Monday: easy 10
Tuesday: 4 am/9 pm
Wednesday: 4 am/16 MP pm
Thursday: 4 am/7 pm
Friday: 4 am/8 pm
Saturday: 14 MP
Sunday: 20.1
Mon: 10/6
Tues: 12
Wed: 10/6
Thur: 14
Fri: 8/6
Sat: 12
Sun: 16
Whew. And I also looked up how to convert cycling into running. Seems a 3:1 ratio is accepted == 24 mile bike equivalent to 8 mile run. To me the 8 miler seems harder, so maybe the conversion is just based on time? Cuz I'm thinking about keeping my weekend long bikes partially in place of some of the back-to-back weekend runs. The switch to biking makes me happy, but it's not really what I'll need for 100 milers.
I did get my TAD yesterday, sort of a test to see how it goes. Definitely not a rest week thing, it wore me out and got me to bed late. Well, so did snacking after the ride... .
I took two benedryls to sleep and didn't set an alarm, so I slept in until 8am. Woke briefly to let dog out around 5 am of course. Woke up face swollen, stiff, and my the left side of my neck hard to move and pained. I thought this would clear out as the day progressed but it hasn't. Makes it hard to look over my left shoulder. I should see Dr L next week. For this and the left shoulder burning pain I've had.
I mapped out my weekend run, 25 miles in the Rockwoods to Al Foster. The only hill might be the climb up Rock Hollow? The goal is distance/time on feet with fast walking breaks. My only concern might be having enough water, I haven't found a gas station or water source yet. And I hope it's not flooded. Not the kind of water I'm looking for.
RM and I planning to ride, but not picked which day yet. Sunday is the cooler day weather-wise. Texted RM, see what happens!
