May Racing and Training

[HCcD]

May will apparently be a month of a number of racing / events, a cumulation of the first 4 months of winter training .... On tap is Mississauga Marathon, Where's Franktown 15K, ORW 10K / 50 minute Pace Bunny and ORW Half Marathon, so far ..

Such the case, should expect the month to end around 200-225K or so ... hopefully, will be more frequent, but shorter runs, in preparation for the 5-10K races over the months of June and July ...

my goal this month is 160 miles (257km).

eta: and re-enter the ultra world with my first 50km since 2011.
eta2: if I follow my plan I will have 205 miles (330km) but we all know how good I am at following my plan.

A big month coming up for me. May 25 will be my marathon comeback race.

Try not to over-do for 31 days, and arrive at Calgary starting line with good feet. (Impossible goal imo).

- I think I'm going to continue with my April plan and target to run everyday in May. I want to increase the average length of each run so that fewer are right at my 30 minute minimum and thereby increase my mileage from April by 20%. (I don't tell real numbers as they are still kinda embarassing. )

- At the end of the month I'll repeat the 5k time trial that I did this morning and hope for considerable improvement. Alternatively there is a chip timed 10k race on June 1 that I might try.

my goal is to run 5 min/km without having it feel like 4 min/km

I ran 214K in May. That including the half-marathon, recovery, marathon taper, marathon, and recovery. Moving on.

Did 130k for May, skipped three runs this month. Not too bad considering I haven't started training for anything yet

[ultraslacker]

my goal this month is 160 miles (257km).

I actually ended up shooting for 300km but came out short and met my original goal. 161.6 miles = 260km. :) That's my biggest month since summer 2010.

249k including a half and full. Good month

Ended May with 21x Runs and 239K ... including a marathon in Mississauga, 15K in Where's Franktown, 6K Kanata Beaver Trail, and a 10K and Half Marathon during ORW ... And, yes, I was able to get some training, in between the races .. Ha !!!

Fail and fail.

Got back on track in late May and things are going better so far in June. (yeah, I know its only June 4th but its a start )
