june recap: mileage and races



as a result of the june north/south mileage challenge at the "letters and opinions" runners world on-line forum, i decided to recap my june mileage stats. it's easy enough to do since i started using the running ahead on-line training log to record the data. i just added the mileage widget to the sidebar!

i logged a total of 241.7 miles for june (27 running days out of 30). june is well below my 2008 high of 307.9 miles logged in march, and well above the low of 190.3 miles run the prior month, may. i finished the first half of the year, as of june 30, with 1,410.2 miles.

i ran 6 races in june, from 1 mile (w/katie) to 50 miles, with a trail marathon to kick off the month. the june races totalled 98.5 miles, almost half of all my june miles. for the first half of the year, i ran 28 races. the 2008 races totalled 490.8 miles, almost one-third of my first half mileage.

looking ahead, while i'm a bit short of 1,500 miles at the half-way point, i'll try to finish the year with 3,000 total miles.

Man, that's a lot of miles! Good deal. I fell well short of a 1,000 for the mid year point (880). My goal is 2K for the year. Need to pick it up...

Dude, your mileage is hugh for the year.

Join us at Rockefeller on Saturday at 8:45 AM for a group run. Brennen is coming up from NYC, and we have a few others as well.

Impressive, you are truly running dangerously.

Bill Carter said...

Wow, look at those miles! My mileage is a little less than yours and I certainly know how much work it is. It is never easy to train the way we do and takes a huge commitment.

You the man.

3,000 total miles??? With the miles you do run, it is fun to have a goal like that --if you do hit 3,000 miles I will make you a certificate!!!

Frank, you are a "Manster" half man, half monster with all the miles. (By the way, the term Manster was once applied for former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Randy White, who was a perennial all-pro).
Well done, buddy.
