Weekly Mileage and Climbing

[IanDarkpeak]

Now would you all start again and spell out how, schedule-wise, you all find the time?

Self employed (some might say otherwise.) This time of the year is quiet for me.

[daz h]

last 4 weeks have had me doing Max 67 miles, minimum 45miles but ascent for me has been poor. only about 3-5,000 ft.

Focus changes though this week with much more climbing aiming for that 10000ft from now on.

you doin a BG or summert

I currently work in a Pub, and I don't start till the afternoon, so every morning is free for running, and I don't work weekends....very very lucky.

If I was still doing my landscape gardening job, it would be a diff story.

[IainR]

Normally aim for a minimum of 50, but try to run 220-250 miles a month, rarely get over 70 a week. Height gain depends where I'm working, 5000ft - 15000ft is normal.

Have a rest day once every few weeks, sometimes less, sometimes more. Depends on the racing.

Live in Snowdonia, no kids 2 collies, work's flexible so getting the miles in isn;t an issue.

Generally do 2 effort sessions a week, hill reps tuesday, track thursday lunch, and then do one longish road run mid week and a few fell runs through the rest of the days.

I expect great things from you in the future Mr Fowler.

I expect 300 squats from him

[Mountain Goatess]

If that is all you are doing for the performances you are producing, you clearly have alot of potential. I expect great things from you in the future Mr Fowler.

That's what I thought!

Cheers Roy!

I does worry me though that everyone seems to doing much more, even twice as much as i am. But as they say, what ever works for you.

Depends what you're training for as you say. If your aim is a long distance event then you have to put the mile in if your happy plodding a few miles a week then plod, if you want to do shorter stuff but faster then you do speed work - all relevant...ya gets me?!

Time is the major factor - frankly I'm pig sick of setting off in the dark at gone 7 at night in the snow, wind, rain and whatever else for at least 10 miles - mind you the fact I've got to get back invariably to transport one of the kids somewhere makes me get a bat on!
