I'm just ending recovery from my last one. Still some aches and pains, still some slowness, although I've run a few "better than race pace" runs on the dreadmill at the hotel.<br><br>
1) I am only up to 40 miles per week, and that's this week<br>
2) I look at the 55 mpw plans and they look skimpy (Pfitz et al), even the 12 week ones.<br>
3) I look at the 18 week 70 mpw one and I can't do the first few weeks, and part of me wonders if I can do it at all this summer (life intervenes).<br><br>
I want to improve, know that I can if I put the miles in, but I don't have the base back yet.<br><br>
What to do...?<br><br>
Go with a 12 week 70 one and work up to 55 or so consistent miles with lots of MP runs thrown in? Pick up the 18 week one when I can? What?
