Your Notes
Quassy Half June 2018 in 8:35 (terrible day for me), IMLP 70.3 September 9, 2018 in 8:25, IMMD September 29, 2018 in 16:17.
Since IMMD I followed the post-Ironman recovery plan and now am entering week 2 of Run durability. I really want to improve my run fitness/speed. I remain in the same shape, roughly, and am injury free.Last week I ran 3X instead of 4 the plan outlined. Slow and steady each time. I wasn’t up to doing a tempo run yet. Work has me exhausted. Total mileage: 9 miles. I also biked 30 miles and did some strength training.
This week I hope to run an extra 4 miles.
The race drop down is for 2018. My A race is on June 9th, 2019. Eagleman 70.3
Let's get to work!
