Our Days are Numbered
It’s hard to believe that our event is coming up in less than three weeks. What a journey training for this event has been! Currently Kolby and I are pulling back on the level of intensity after last week’s high mileage. This week Kolby and I are training differently as I cannot make it up to the […]
Running Feeds the Soul
It is hard to believe that our hardest week of training has come to a close. Though Kolby and I didn’t manage to make it to the mountains this week, we got right down to business with increasing our mileage and attacking our already sore muscles. Kolby and I both were in Wildwood, NJ this […]
Missing the Mountains
This past week Kolby and I increased our running mileage with the known fact that we would be unable to make it to the mountains for a couple weeks. We ran about 58 miles total between Monday the 5th and Sunday the 10th (our schedule is listed below). With only a month left before the event […]
Slipping ‘n Sliding
We woke up early this past Saturday at approximately 5:00AM ready to get a head-start on our hike of the day. All week long both Kolby and I had been checking the weather forecast for Saturday and were praying that it would change. Saturday was forecasted to have a 30% chance of thunderstorms after 10AM and a […]
Taking the Next Step
This week’s training is about the same as many of the other weeks, but one thing that differs is the pace we will be keeping and the slight increase in mileage. Along with mileage, Kolby and I will also be increasing the intensity of our strength workouts, and the amount of hours slept each night. As the […]
“Brushing off the Cobwebs”
The Plan: Hike from the ADK Loj to Marcy Dam to 4 Corners to Gray to Skylight to Marcy to Table Top and then to Phelps. Then hike back to the ADK Loj to drive down RT 73 to hike Cascade and Porter. Trip Summary: This past Saturday Kolby and I set out to […]
Running Schedule
[7/14-7/20] This week’s schedule steps it up a notch as we dive head first into high mileage training. Our week is already in full swing, and we both look forward to our first big hike of the summer on Saturday. Monday: 45 minutes ~5 miles Tuesday: 60 minutes ~7 miles Wednesday: 50 minutes ~6 miles […]
Training Week [7/7-7/13]
This week was easy on the legs, with the idea of injury prevention. For the last month or so we have both been pushing our limits, and it was time to recoup. Our mileage throughout the week was fairly low, and our long-run shorter. We averaged approximately 41 miles each this week. Next week will […]
