Subject: RE: From 100 to 26.2 Congrats on the hundo! Pine to Palm looks amazing. Gotta get out there one day. I'm doing the same 100 to 26.2 right now, targeting Boston on 4/15. Here's my plan. The endurance is there, so I'll take the volume down from peak 100 training, probably into the 70-90 MPW range, and hit the Pfitz Advanced Marathoning plan again. Loved using it last year in my build to Chicago. Focus on getting my leg speed, turnover, etc back up. I'll be subbing in some hilly trail running 2x a week because I love the trails and Boston has a few hills, so that will help keep leg strength up. This fall/winter is a good chance to mix up the training, get back to the track once a week, and fine tune the sticks. There are some great snowshoe races up north in Michigan, so I'd like to get in some of that to keep the chili bubblin'. I'm doing a marathon on 10/7 as a baseline test to see where my marathon fitness is at, and then go from there. I'll probably do at least one more marathon leading up to Boston to see if the training is working or if I need to change things. If fortune strikes and I get into Western States, that'll alter some things... |
