June Racing and Training

[HCcD]

Originally, June was supposed to be a fun month, as I have a number of 5-10K races / events happening on most weekends ... And, now, I am toying with possibly running in the Edmonton Marathon at the end of August, and if it happens, then the next training cycle is starting now ... Such the case, I figure that June will come in around 250-300K or so ...

Recovery month for me.
I am hoping gradually build back to about a 16-18k long run by the end of the second week of June. My best guess for mileage would be around 150-200k.

I'm going to shoot for 300km again.

I'm also trying to lose 5lb. Have been half-heartedly not-trying to do that for awhile now... have added an extra layer of accountability so hopefully that and the increased mileage will do the trick!

Next weekend I'll be running with a friend for a portion of the Vancouver 100 (just the nighttime portion, which should be around 15km if his pace is what he wants it to be).

And sometime later in the month I would like to get another 50k training run in.

Race scheduled for June 13th is looking more and more like it's going to be a DNS for me.
Once again injury is putting a large wrench in my training plans. Original plan for this month was 170-200K but now I'll be happy to simply be able to run at all.

I have the whistler half this weekend. Then an easy couple weeks and training begins for the NYC marathon. Plus I still have some training to do for the challenge in Penticton in August. I am doing a swim portion of the ironman.

As of June 2nd I've started a training schedule for a race in late August so some structure might do me some good .

- Mileage should be around 250km for the month.

- I won't run every day but I will workout every day.

- I'm not in good enough shape to run my age (not even in km) on my b'day but I will do something out of the ordinary (for me) that day to mark the occasion.

I should be somewhere around 280km I think- my schedule isn't too structured at the moment, so who know's exactly where it will end up.

Got a race next weekend in Keene Valley NY- the Great Adirondack Trail Run. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun, so I'm really looking forward to doing it again.

Missed it by a third. :/

Missed that one too.

Next weekend I'll be running with a friend for a portion of the Vancouver 100 (just the nighttime portion, which should be around 15km if his pace is what he wants it to be).

Ended up with 41km that night, and that was my longest distance of the month.

And sometime later in the month I would like to get another 50k training run in.

Didn't happen. This month clearly did not go as well as I had hoped it would!

I actually did 201K running. Plus a bit of cycling, 5 swims, and one Grouse Grind. I'm happy with this.

I ended up with 125.8 miles, which is 202.5km

Not nearly what I wanted, but whatevs!

Not quite as I had expected, as summer plans for a marathon were thwarted with a flare-up of my left foot (PF perhaps??) so kept the runs frequent but short in June ... and, ended up with 25x runs and 205K ... Foot feels ok when I am running at tempo effort or faster, for shorter stuff, while on the longer stuff, it tends to fatigue more, for whatever reason ..

Anyhoo, finished the month with a few races, or rather, uptead steady tempo efforts, while taking it easy on the longer efforts / volume ... Fall marathon training cycle for Hamilton starts now ... though, gradually, building back my base ...

So much for that old cliche about " ... best layed plans, eh !!! " Ha !!!
