AM: run with Elia, Steve, and Brian.  Mile of striders at the end.  Had an absolute blast today!  Definitely a slow pace, but that's okay.  

On a second note, my mileage was a bit unreal this week, but I feel fine.  I suppose the doubles- now that I've done a full cycle of them last year, and have started them again now more recently- are really the way to go at least for marathon training.  The body just feels better than it does with the single run, even though it's more mileage overall.  I know Kipchoge does the 15k followed by a 10k, so I am trying to style it similar to that.  I just would like to work in the Saturday or Sunday progressive run that he does too. I'm a bit apprehensive, as that'll increase the likelihood of injury, but I suppose there's no better time than an era of zero races to just go for it.

I guess we'll see how next week pans out before I get ahead of myself.  
 

SOTD: nah, just playin', Eugene!  :)

solid week of mileage! you should go the "eugene" route instead of kipchoge and add a 5-miler a couple hours before both runs as a means of loosening up for the longer runs. what's a world record compared to a 200-mile week, anyway? :)

Oh man, one day! You’ve inspired me, but that’s an insane amount for one week. I still can’t believe you nailed that AND kept rolling!

honestly i’m far enough removed from it i can’t believe it either. i’m psyched to be back and get back to that insanity of having to split my sleep up in a day just to fit more time to run in, as crazy as i know it is. i honestly don’t think i’ll be able to get that 200 number out of the back of my head every run i do until i run it again :)

and, for the record, a year ago i was looking at you running 130-mile weeks and thinking how off your rocker you were!

also, the craziest part of it was i was weighing in at 165 at the end of that week! i keep thinking “if i did it with what was basically a 20 lbs body suit on, i gotta be able to do it again!”
