April Totals

April is over - a pretty big month (not quite as big as March, but close). Dealing with a little achilles issues caused by desert running in Phoenix, but it seems to be manageable and isn't really going to impact my training.

here's the goals and how well I did against them.....

April Goals/Actuals:
--Training paces to 3:00 marathon (6:29 tempo, 6:52 MP)- DONE
--Run 29 days (One day off on 4/7) - DONE
--3 big weeks, 1 cutback - DONE
--Mileage 320-360 (depending on number of doubles) - 340.3 miles
--No races - DONE
--Long runs: 3x20+milers, 1x17miler - DONE 22.4,21.18,20.42, 17.01
--Doubled on 9 days
--Ran all 7 days on vacation, including 2 doubles

May Plans
--Edinburgh Marathon 5/25 - Sub 3 hour is the stretch goal
--mileage of 80,70,55,63 (including race)
--Monthly mileage around 260
--Run everyday until marathon, not sure of week after

Overall April was a good month and I'm in the best shape of my life. As long as I don't fall to pieces before the start or do anything dumb during the race I should be in for a good time.

Hi Alan, I am doing edinburgh also. My best time is 4:13 but am just trying to break the 4:00 at this time. Perhaps 3:30 longer term.
Good luck
