Runners - 30 miles or more per week

[spedrunner]

Can you please post your typical running schedule?  How many days, mileage, etc

Thanks!!!

Before i injured myself i was doing about 35 mpw, a typical week was:

monday: crosstrain
Tuesday, thhursday, friday: 5-6 mile run
Wednesday: speedwork (~4 miles)
Saturday: 6-8 mile run
Sunday: long run, depends on training schedule

Anyway, once im recovered, ill probably drop it down to five days of running. Six was clearly too much.

Monday is always a cross train day, tues/thurs 4 miles, weds 6 miles, Saturdays usually 6-8 miles then a long run on Sundays, minimum 10 miles.

Oh Friday is a rest day.

Monday - run 5.5-6
Tuesday - run 6.5-7.5 (AM)/ride 20 (PM)
Wednesday - run 6-6.5
Thursday - rest
Friday - run 6-7
Saturday - run 12+
Sunday - ride 20

Some of this gets moved around a bit on some weeks. It is kind of weird to do a Thursday rest day, but I have a late meeting on Wednesday and an early one on Thursday, so it works well for my work schedule.

A typical 30+ mile week for training looked like this:

This was a 36 mile week

M: X-train
T: 6 Bridges/hills
W: 5 easy
Th: 8 w/3 at marathon pace
F: Rest
S: 5 easy + yoga
S: 12

Mr. GT usually runs 6-10 4x a week and does weights one day. Most days are closer to 10 and the 6 is either a race or speed work.

I think I'll end up in the low 30s this week. Here's the plan:

M: Rest
T: 60 min run w/ 4mi @ HM pace (~7 mi total), ST
W: Rest
R: 60 min (~6 mi total), ST
F: 45 min (~5 mi total)
S: 10 min
S: 5 mi @ GMP, ST

It's atypical for me to run on Fridays. I usually rest. but I have a hair appointment on Wednesday so thems the breaks.

Mine varies depending on if I run by myself or push the twins in the double BOB, but here is a typical week:

Sunday - 4mi with kids
Monday - 4mi with kids
Tuesday - 6mi
Wednesday - rest (or 4mi walk with kids)
Thursday - 6mi
Friday - 4mi
Saturday - 6mi (sometimes with kids)

I try to do situps/push-ups/planks/tricep dips 3x a week in the evening after the kids are in bed. If I don't get my run in, I will do a Jillian Michaels DVD.

My rest day also varies, but it is typically one day a week, in the middle of the week if I can plan it out properly.

Last week:

Sun - 3 easy
Mon - rest (4mi walk)
Tue - 4mi
Wed - 6mi tempo
Thu - 5.4mi
Fri - XT (1.6mi walk, 1hr hot yoga)
Sat - 12.6mi

Total w/o walks = 31mi

When I'm not training for something specific, I usually run 6-8 miles 3 x a week, 3-5 1 or 2 x a week, and then a longer run of 10-12. I do strength 3x a week, plus pilates or yoga 1x.
