Keep on Going

Today:
Purpose:  base building
Distance:  14.15 km
Time:  83' 00"
Rate:  5' 52" per km
Weather:  sunny, temp 26 degrees, humidity 45%, wind north 10 kmph

Week:   27.6 km,  Feb:  295.55 km,
Year:  631.00 km in 8 weeks at ave 78.8 km

Running just over 100 kms in a weekend is not a good way to increase the weekly average.
This figure settled in the high 70's after a few weeks of the year and has not changed since.
Main cause is the few rest days before the 100 km weekend, the 5 rest days to wait for shin soreness to go away. In fact, I have ran on only 14 of the 25 days so far in February.
Lesson here, 100s are good if there is a race reason. But better to spread it over 3 days, say 20 kms on Friday, 50 kms on Saturday & finish with a marathon on Sunday.
I did this few times last year and providing one or two of those days are flat, then recovery should be fine. Getting good sleep is probably the most important part.
I will now make February planned total of 300 kms with ease, then increase each monthly target by 100 kms for next 3 months.
What I don't want is rain, and cold combined.
