A chunking plan with some realism.

[Tbae]

During April hope to knock off 6x17k runs,3 different road loops clockwise and anti clockwise.

Then in May I hope to knock off 0ne weekly run of 2x17km in the same day.

Then in June / July hoping to complete 3x17km in the same day.

It’s all that perhaps is possible.One continuous nine hour trot is not realistic at this stage.Perhaps never.But never say never.

That's an interesting approach! Towards, the end of April, have you considered doing 17k on consecutive days as a way of building up to the double? You could consider something similar before the triple. All the best.

Thanks SkiMonday.I will try that again.I did try perhaps a couple of years ago one month of continuous running and one month of continuous running with two runs per day.Cannot remember well now SM but suffice to say I ended up with a self inflicted overuse injury and since then I became a bigger user of one or more repair days.Funny how I think of two runs or more in the same day as one day exertion.🙈

I admire those that have adaptive and are safely able to run on continuous days.I decided to park it in favour of at least crunching my first in a lifetime marathon and 50kUltra.

Thank you for the option and the reminder.

Atb to you.

Hi Tbae

Not sure why I didn't see your reply before.

I'm a firm believer in taking recovery days every week; I think that running on continuous days for a month is asking for trouble (looks like you found that out the hard way!)

My idea was, instead of doing 2x17k on the same day, split them across two days first as a way of easing into it. So, instead of doing both on (say) Friday, you could do one on Thursday, the other on Friday then take Saturday off.

How is your plan going?

Hi SM,

Just holding 5k ready I suppose.🙈🏃‍♂️

Determined and hoping to hang tough and seriously start into my simple build up.

Will post my latest watered down chunking plan.

It’s the doing I am struggling with.Feeling a fake but it is what it is.

Every good wish to you.

🏃‍♂️🌟👏👏💪🙏💫⚡️
