Dave Byrne – Upping the Miles

5 January 20149 January 2014 The Long Run

This was my highest volume week yet, with what’s probably too big an increase in distance. I couldn’t help myself! The holidays mean I have more time to not only train, but for recovery. Between sessions I found myself either eating, catching up with family, or sitting on the couch watching a movie.

Despite doing a few good sessions, my goal is to run an ultra so the emphasis was still on getting through a quality long run, and being able to do 400m in 52 seconds aint gonna help me there! This week I skipped the journey to the Blue Mountains an did a 2 hour 30 min run in Centennial/Queens Park. The mileage needs to increase on these Sunday runs over the next 6 to 10 weeks with every second week or so being a mountain run.
