Well Joel and I officially registered for the 2011 Transrockies Run last night. No backing out now. We still have time for fun before the serious training starts. Joel and I agreed to start our training now and build up very slowly. Hopefully this allows us to avoid any potential injuries that go with long distance training.
We will start with a base of around 30 miles a week and build to a peak of 70+ miles by July before we taper our training for the race.
Our peak training weeks will consist of 3 consecutive long days of 18, 20, and 22 miles. We are hoping to do these long runs in the San Juan mountains of Southwest Colorado, this will enable us to run at 10,000 feet or higher which is comparable to the Transrockies stages.
Let the fun begin.
