Training program established

These past couple of days, I designed a training schedule based on research on RunnersWorld.com and some other internet ultra marathon training sites.  The training includes two days a week of rest separated by 3-4 days of running.

Here is how the 17 week schedule breaks down in abstract:

Day 1            5 miles

Day 2            7 miles

Day 3            5 miles

Day 4              Rest

Day 5            16 up to 24 miles

Day 6            10 miles

Day 7             Rest/Cross train; strength training and swimming

Whew!  This looks more like a lifestyle change than a training program!  There are “hard” weeks and there are “easy” weeks of effort thrown in the mix to make it interesting.

I’ll muddle through it all somehow…

Gotta run,
