Thu, 01 Apr 2010 22:10:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://kensroadtokona.com/2009/10/15/as-winter-closes-in/comment-page-1/#comment-102 Ken Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:50:56 +0000 http://kensroadtokona.com/?p=309#comment-102 I was thinking about my marathon periodzation recently: I'm adding just two miles a week to my long runs. I did 14 last week, 16 this week, and I'll do 18 next week. The week after that I'll recover and then bump it up to 20, 22, etc. With this done properly, I should run 24 miles twice before Death Valley. I'm in no hurry to burn myself out in anyway shape or form. I just want to get to the starting line healthy.

Maintenance is so much easier than development! BTW Zinn just published the latest edition of `Zinn and the art of roadbike maintenance` - a must have.

I found it really good in the build up to my last Strongman. This was underlined when I ran 24km one day in training (about 20% more of a jump up than the book said I should), and I spent teh next two weeks injured. They know their stuff!
