25 weeks of training stats.

Although I didn't register for my upcoming race until January, It was on my mind back in September.After time off and resting from my poorly done fat dog attempt in August. I moved at the beginning of october and that was when I laid out a training plan that lead all the way to this race coming up. I didn't follow it exactly, but I felt like I did a decent job of building back up my mileage and feel quite ready. So because I like charts and graphs and stuff. Here is some numbers.

Week 1 was the start if a new job, and I just moved but didn't have my own place for a couple weeks, so wasn't too much time to run to start. Week 3 my car broke down and I lost the weekend to dealing with that. Week 4 was really the time I started in properly to specified planned training. Week 12 was christmas holidays, didn't fit much running into visiting. Week 18 was a 50 km trail race. Week 19 I was sick. Week 24 I didn't run on the weekend as I was visiting. Any time not spent running in training was basketball or ice hockey.


 
Almost looks like a proper build/rest pattern.



10,000 ft is 3,050 metres. Feels good to be getting above that regularly. Nice arbitrary weekly goal. The park I spent a lot of time running in has some decent climbs.



Yep; that's a graph.



I actually find this one interesting. If nothing else it really is just an indicator of what the weather was like during the last 6 months. The higher my average weekly pace, the more snow I had to run in. That outlier of over 8 minutes per km was a week where I spent 4 hours on a friday night slogging through knee high snow, didn't get far but it was a gooder.

Holy that was an exciting post.
