Summer Running Plan

I plan on running this weekly schedule for June, July and August. Distances include a half mile jog to 55th the Centennial Trail and a half mile cool down back to my home. I plan on only running easy in June, adding some tempos in July and August but no intervals at all. The only race I plan on running is the 4K on July 4th.

Spring Summary

My plan to run the Colorado marathon May 9 in Ft Collins was thwarted by right Achilles tendonitis I got in the Boulder Distance Classic 15K April 24. I had decided to run 8 min/mi in the BDC because I had a terrible cold in early April that ruined my marathon training and I was not going to have a pleasant experience or reasonable time in the marathon. Missing the long run and peaking made my body susceptible to injury and in retrospect I should have just jogged the BDC. I used a calf compression sleeve and that helped me a lot sooner. I was able to run the Bolder Boulder in 54:56, 8:50 min/mi. This put 22/160 M62, not bad considering I could barely walk after the BDC.
