This was a week of quantity over quality, but not by choice. I did manage my most miles per week for 2015, but still not "high mileage." Outside of some of some hill repeats on Tuesday, I ran no miles faster than 8:15. I tried, but every time I gradually built up the pace, the wheels would start to fall off. Granted, I had a super aggressive tempo run the week before, followed by a race, but I shouldn't need recovery from that. Perhaps this 53-year old body is finally rebelling; the 6 years plus of chasing marathon PR's is gradually coming to a halt. There is the old rule of thumb that most runners have a 7 year window to realize gains in the marathon and that may window is closing. Or, this was just one of those weeks and I will be back as good as new this upcoming week after a couple nights of good sleep. Yeah, let's go with that!
Happy Running!
Rick
