My goal was to exceed 200 miles for March 2011 with quality workouts and adding a fourth or even fifth training day. I didn't make that goal because of a few factors:
1. I didn't add a fourth or fifth training day.
2. I had a taper week before the NYC Half Marathon.
3. Running my butt off during the NYC Half Marathon resulted in a sore left lateral plantar fascia, which lead to not running for four days after the race. I don't call it an injury because I was able to walk okay. It was sore when I tried to run in the house. I decided to completely rest.
That's okay because I broke 1:25 in the NYC Half Marathon, which is the fastest half marathon I completed since I ran a 1:20:12 on Guam on February 27, 1983!
This is the breakdown comparing this year's Boston training program to last year's:
November 2009 - 51.15 miles (longest run: 26.2 miles-NYC Marathon on 11/01).
November 2010 - 76.56 miles (longest run: 13.10 miles on 11/22).
December 2009 - 12.26 miles (longest run: 5.0 miles on 12/03 and 12/07).
December 2010 - 123.74 miles (longest run: 17.11 miles on 1/26).
January 2010 - 81.91 miles (longest run: 15.0 miles on 1/27).
January 2011 - 124.93 miles (longest run: 18.06 miles on 1/26).
February 2010 - 105.14 miles (longest run: 18.00 miles on 2/24).
February 2011 - 113.17 miles (longest run: 18.33 miles on 2/15).
March 2010 - 158.52 miles (longest run: 23.0 miles on 3/31).
March 2011 - 152.78 miles (longest run: 20.10 on 3/30).
Always a Runner...
