There has to be a plan

Today:
Purpose:  Mid week long run
Distance:  16.85 km
Time:   1 hr 32 mins 45 secs
Rate:    5' 30" per km
Weather:  cloudy, temp 23 degrees, humidity 60%, wind SE 15 kmph

Week:  61.00 km,  Feb:  269.35 km,  Year:  792.1 km

If you have read my FB page, you would now know there is a big, long distance event planned for later in the year.
Planning in advance to work backwards from this event, it's now crunch time for training with only the Coburg 24 hour run on in April.
To get to a descent level of fitness for that & to then move on to the big one, I have virtually returned to base build running.
The plan for this week is to hit 120 kms, next week 135 kms & the following week 150 kms. That's just over the 10% rule increase off an average of 107 kms per week for the first 7 weeks of this year.
The last 2 weeks of March I have on holidays. We will be in Tassie for that, so the running will be a bit " do what you can, when you can".
Next week, I will try to include 2 mid week longish runs, a short one/ rest day & then have good long run/walks over the weekends. Rest days will depend on the weather. A rainy, cold day will be a good chance to bludge/recover.
