Training…..again

When I registered for ATY I didn’t think too much about how training would look between two 100 milers.  For some reason I thought I’d just repeat the six month block again.  Hell no.  That wasn’t going very well.  Research showed I should be splitting the eight month gap into Recovery, Maintenance, then Build and Peak.  Also mentally I needed a break.

Right now I’m in Maintenance, because happily the six months of BLU training hasn’t just vanished into thin air. Build starts again in mid September.

It’s amazing to me just how much you can do and how different all the running/racing challenges are.  Isn’t it cool to be involved in something with so much choice?  I also signed up for a 10k late September since it’s so different from the slow and steady training.  

Onward!
