I never actually did post my ...Hi Elizabeth Jayne! I never actually did post my training schedule anywhere here. It's a rather long and involved spreadsheet that's probably of little use to most, lol :)<br /><br />The basics: 16 week schedule, started at something like 35 miles the first week and peak at 70 miles in a week (twice). Three week gradual taper, but that will probably be changed around...three weeks is too long of a taper for me. Three to four week build phases followed by one "step back" week. I started out running 5 days, but have increased it to 6 days per week. Though, in the final weeks, I'll move back to 5 days per week I think.<br /><br />I've actually stuck to my schedule this time around and it has made a HUGE difference.<br /><br />I should also add that I went into this training schedule with a pretty solid base already. I am a low mileage runner, but had gotten to where 45-50 mpw was very comfortable. I was doing that more or less for about a year before I started my most recent training cycle.<br /><br />Hope that helps some.
