You are so smart to rest. I should be resting more than I am. My problem is that running makes me feel better emotionally ... so, what to do?
When you speak of your next training cycle what exactly are you referring to? What's your next race and how are you going about training for it. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.
I am planning on doing a 24 week training for Ogden. With a 5 week work back up to it. Its a up to 50-70 miles per week. With more speed work and such. Along with strength training. But with alot of shorter races from the 5k to half. But I am just wanting to focus on 2 full marathons and peaking at them. The slam was hard with recovery and tapering for the last 3 months or so.
As for the need to run. I totally hear you but... I just need to recover from the 3 marathons in just over a month and a half. And start again. I felt overtrained coming into ToU and not enough recovery from it.
You are a machine. No way I could ever log 70 miles per week!!
I think I am going to run Boston as a long training run for Ogden - and thoroughly enjoy myself.
Still not 100% sure, but that's what I am thinking right now.
