November 2010 Running Recap

Well, another month has come and gone. With November’s passing, so too does my Movember mustache. Losing it was almost like losing a friend…almost. Other notables for the month: I started training for my next major race, though I didn’t register for it until December 1st. I also logged my first 16 mile run, which for now is my longest run by 1 mile, and by just under 8 minutes.

Let’s get on with the stats:

• Total Miles: 172.1
• Total Time: 27:00:26
• Average Pace: 9:25/mile

Additional Notes

In November, I ran 22 out of 31 days. Yes, that’s 9 days of not running, which is a bit high, but it’s what my current training calls for. Oh, regarding that training—it’s for The Cowtown Marathon. That’s right, I’m training for my first marathon! The training plan has me running 4 days a week, with 2 easy runs (currently 8 or 9 miles each), a tempo or interval run (again, the total mileage is at least 8 miles), and a long run. That’s definitely a lot of running/day, and I’ve been tempted to spread the easy runs out over two days. I am now 4 weeks into the 16 week plan, and it will be interesting to see how the training plays out.

Now on with the specifics of November’s training:

• Easy: 80.1
• Tempo: 21
• Intervals: 12
• Fartleks: 9
• Long: 50
• Shortest Run: 4
• Longest Run: 16

November is the 16th consecutive month of running 100+ miles, the 4th straight month over 150 miles, and the 2nd time over 170 miles (2 of the last 3 months).
