They do this full time and have lots of time to train and do build-up races. We don't have that luxury, so there is only so much I take from their training plans. I generally just go with what I think will work with me and I know will fit in with my available time. It's worked for me so far.junhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483517319335792896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121023402918416258.post-55581934350613973862012-03-20T11:50:40.827-06:002012-03-20T11:50:40.827-06:00I try to find what the pros do for training and th...I try to find what the pros do for training and the numbers I see are at the high end of 80 to 100 mile weeks. Meltzer doesn't give up his secrets very much but I read he does 60-80 per week. I see others doing 100 plus per week and some at 150 plus per week, and this all on trails! Part-time shmucks like me find it difficult to get such high miles because, well, we have jobs and families. At the peak of my training I would like to be getting close to 100 MPW including long runs of 20= miles, and for Wasatch this means HILLS!MVHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985949327780521483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121023402918416258.post-20232775878536126652012-03-20T09:47:09.928-06:002012-03-20T09:47:09.928-06:00Oh, poor DC.

He has to deal with swelling, pain, etc. He'll feel ok one day and then be on crutches the next. I feel really bad for him. He's already cancelled one race and will probably cancel another that's all the way in June. I hope that by some miracle his body really responds.junhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483517319335792896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121023402918416258.post-29614007940377857802012-03-20T09:33:07.894-06:002012-03-20T09:33:07.894-06:00Whats up with your buddy DC...he has not posted fo...Whats up with your buddy DC...he has not posted for a week now.
