Re: July 2013 Training goals
July is all about running for me, Powderface 42 trail marathon next weekend (unfortunately the race can not be held on the original course due to road, bridge, and trail washouts from the flood) however it will still be a trail marathon on the Canmore Nordic Center.
July should be around 400k and then the taper starts for Ironlegs 80k! (which too will not be on the original course - TBD)

Re: July 2013 Training goals
July looks to be around 350 km. Mostly all mid-teen mileage. I'm thinking about joining a local running group (not RR) for their long runs on Saturday. That would mean shifting the plan back one day to be inline with them. I'll drop in once or twice to see what they're like before I commit the shift.
Re: July 2013 Training goals
Marathon build up continues. My only goal is to continue to build the long run distance. The rest seems to be working out - just hoping to get a bit faster!

Re: July 2013 Training goals
After taking the past several months off from any sort of structured training, time to start back logging my workouts, as I rebuild my fitness back to a marathon distance for Hamilton in November, then moving forward to Dopey Challenge in January ... Still only at about 85% recovered from my foot injury, so Hamilton will be my first marathon in 18 months, since my last one in Ottawa in 2012 ... No real expecations other than to complete the training cycle and injury-free ....
Will plan to continue regular strength / resistance workouts, as well as adding cyling workouts (outside and indoors on the computrainer) as I have a couple of Sprint Duathlons scheduled for August ... Will see how that progresses, as I have not been able get my sorry @$$ out on the bike this summer, for various reason ... the weather has not helped, nor my p-t job, as well ... Will have to figure out what my priorities are and allocate the necessary time and energy, accordingly ...

Tomorrow is rest day so last run of the month was today and finished it off with a nice workout. I hit the mileage goal and also did a short brick workout (20k bike/3k run) earlier this month with thoughts of doing a Duathlon (last Sunday) for fun. I wasn’t really planning on training for it but I haven’t been on the bike in forever so I wanted to at least ride the distance and get a feel for the run afterwards. I ended up scrapping the idea since doing a race I’m not training for didn't make much sense. Overall very happy with how things have been going so no point disrupting it with racing something different. Going to the local running club never happened but was low priority.

Re: July 2013 Training goals
Between birthdays (the little guy's and mine) at the beginning of the month and the heatwave in the middle, July was a bit of a bust, mileage-wise. 91.5km in total - less than half of what I'd planned.
PR's so far: 5K 27:15, 10K 55:25, 21.1K 2:10:53, 42.2K 5:21:27

July 2013 Training goals
Solid month of training:
143 k running
328 k cycling
14k swimming (10 swims)
Running was a bit short of schedule, I guess I missed a few mid week runs but overall good.
Next month will be switching back to just running with a couple of swims.

Re: July 2013 Training goals
July: 20 runs, 374K. Probably my best training month in over two years, both in terms of volume and quality.
Re: July 2013 Training goals
340K, which is good, but not nearly enough quality in them.
Also some elliptical/cycling/rowing/strength.

That's it, Lisa? only 340K, 3 months out of Hamilton ?? It puts my paltry 186K to shame ...

Re: July 2013 Training goals
I finished off with 175k. July and August always see a reduction in my running mileage. This is the highest July I've had since I started keeping track of mileage in 2007.

Re: July 2013 Training goals
475km of running in July, but a bit light on the speedwork. Need to step up the intensity for the next couple of months, but I'm healthy and fit so I can't complain. Really wanted to race more, but it seems easier to do the routine than schedule a race.
