    M - Rest
    T - 9.1
    W - 10.1
    H - 11
    F - 6
    S - 9.1
    S - 18

    WTD - 63.3
    MTD - 290.3

    I have 5 on the schedule for tomorrow, so I'll miss my goal by 5 miles. I could just go do 10, but taper is more important. :)

    I just started the monthly challenges this month, so here's my last week:

    M - Rest
    T - 4
    W - 6
    T - 4
    F - Rest
    S - 6
    S - 16

    Total - 36
    MTD - 131

    I gave myself a conservative goal of 100 because I did a FM on 8 Sep and have another next Sunday/6 Oct, but was following Higdon's 4-week between FM's training plan. Worked out rather well, and will try to hit my goal again next month despite the first two weeks being taper and recovery.

    Or maybe keep a 9:30 pace - 4:09 (but that time just seems like an odd time for a goal- but maybe that is the most appropriate)?
    What do you think?
    [sorry for the lengthy message but appreciate any response :flowerforyou: ]

    I would go more conservative. Maybe even starting out at around a 10:30 pace or so. Do that for 7 to 10 miles and if you are feeling good, drop to 10:00s. When you hit 20 miles, if you feel like you still have something, drop to 9:30s and bring it home.

    This is the advice I followed on today's run and will follow on my FM next week. I started out at 10:30 for the first 10, 10:00 for the next 5, and 9:30 for the last 2. I think this is a great strategy.

    Last run for the month (and probably last run before the Half marathon next Sunday)
    Not sure whether it was wise to run so far (far by my standards!) just a week before the race; but I hate to miss my targets!


    Also I set a personal best for longest "all run without a break" - so not all bad

    Sep 29-> 18.3

    Whole month 77.2miles

    ... and September's a wrap for me! 6.2 miles today means 230 for the month. Looking forward to some more great Fall running in October!

    Updated the spreadsheet -- congrats to everyone who achieved their goals!

    By my count, 15 out of 30 made it, with another 6 within 20 percent of their goal. Huzzah! Yippee!
