Do you not have a marathon training plan that sets weekly mileage goals that you could add for a monthly goal?0 -
@MobyCarp I'm being safe. In general it's 35-45 mpw for thr plan, but we've been adjusting it every couple weeks fine tuning, so it's kind of in Flux. Chances are real mileage will be around 160 or so. Also, I generally only have the plan for like 2 weeks ahead, so I don't have the second half of the month, just general outline.
Should add that right now it's still base building, "real" training will be the 22 weeks leading up to the marathon.
I'm considering dumping my "coach" and finding/buying a plan, since she is more conservative than I like and puts it more other stuff than I like.
With 24 weeks to go I haven't found a plan that long that isn't extremely conservative.0 -
Keeping with my traditional 140 km's per month.
I averaged 115 km/month in 2016 even though my Goal was 140.
3 HM's already booked,
Chilly Willy HM Grande Prairie, AB Feb 5, 2017
Hypo Thermic HM, Edmonton, AB Feb 26, 2017
Jasper , Jasper National Park, April 8, 2017
A 4th Mystery East Coast HM ??? 2017 that a member of our local club is researching options for us.
Hopefully I can get registered for the Emperors Challenge HM in Tumbler Ridge, BC August 12, 2017 - that is basically a run up and over a mountain . As long as it doesn't conflict with the East Coast Mystery HM.
Plus some local 5 mile and 10km local races.1 -
I'd like my mileage to be around December's 130, or possibly even more since I won't have the holidays to contend with, but I'll probably have to adjust my goal after my sports medicine appointment next week. I'm hoping I'll get the go ahead to continue running as long as the pain is manageable, but I may have to adjust down. So, real goal is to manage the shin injury and do what I need to do to allow it to heal and not injure it further.2

I'm in for 100. I was going to go higher but I have a week of travel already scheduled that will interfere with at least one long run and a HM the 1st weekend in February.0

January Goal: a 3 hour Long Slow Run
Need to rest a bit first! December was a big month.
Happy New Year, MFPMRC Buddies!

I'm in for 80. I used to faithfully log all my runs, but I have gotten out of the habit. Hoping this will encourage me to: (1) run more; and (2) monitor diet, calories, and sleep, too.
Thanks for posting the challenge!1 -

That is what I found. You have to either modify an existing plan or basically create your own based upon the concepts you learned.1 -
So 50.5 miles this week and a 15 mile long run, and back to a 6 day week.
So that is my biggest week since running RCM. On my way back to base building and putting in the heavy miles needed for running the Kentucky Derby. April 29 will be here before I know it.
I may try some light legwork with dumbells this coming week and will start thinking about adding in elevation. Basically that means running Madkin Mountain on Redstone.1 -
I'm in for 100 miles, my happy *kitten* needs to get a move on and get out there. Skip and I are signed up for a HM in April.

Well, for better or worse, I went and spent more money than I should and am having a custom 20 week training plan made for me. This is a one off thing and I'll write a big review for it when it's done. Plan will begin last week of jan/first week of Feb and end with my marathon on June 17. I'll have more details when I get it. Submitted payment and a questionnaire this morning and should have the plan in a week or so. Now to figure out the rest of January to prep for "real" marathon training.1

Bridgestreet?
@stoshew71 yes, she wants to run her first HM with pacers, which I think is a good idea for her. She has also at one time or another run the entire course though not all at one time so she'll be familiar with it.0
