I've set a personal goal of 3000 miles in the 52 week period leading to the 2012 LT100. That's 50 weeks at an average of 60 miles per week (some will be more / some will be less ... ranging from 40…Continue

Alex Ross replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"I like the Rocky tip!
A couple hours after me posting here my whole department was laid off. So now I have some time to put in 70 miles a week :)"
SKArunner replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"Alex: I am in a similar boat, on top of fighting with my wife for running slots. I wouldn't be able either, if I didn't have a treadmill at home. I have done multiple sessions in a day, early and late. I have not done too…"
Alex Ross replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"I have a wife, 4 kids, day job, and consulting biz so not sure I can squeeze in 60 miles a week. We have a couple treadmills in the office so I've been hitting those in the winter months for 20-30 miles a week. I completed my first 50 mile…"
Brandon Fuller replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"The race can be completed on less than 3,000 miles in a year. I proved that. But that's about the level that most of the folks I know and train with like to be in."
Jay Austin replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"I just laid out a training calendar with key workouts, weekly mileage goals and long workouts planned. Adding up the numbers I get to 2300 miles between this week and Leadville. I then decided to check out how many miles I've run…"
SKArunner replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"Jay,
Thanks for your thoughts, you are absolutely right. I myself tend to over think everything in the first place, but I generally look at it, race by race. However not this time, I just think Leadville, is a different animal and I have never…"
Jay Austin replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"I'm never a real fan of "annual" mileage goals, rather I tend to look for marker "events". In your case it'd be the AR50. In mine, perhaps the Trail Running Festival in Fruita (also in April, pending wife's…"
SKArunner replied to Coach Weber's discussion Setting a Mileage Goal"I as well set the goal to 3000 miles (Don't really know where that number comes from, but it is what everyone seems to use it.), I took a few too many weeks off after my last race Devil mountain 50 and now I have to average 68 miles per…"

I've set a personal goal of 3000 miles in the 52 week period leading to the 2012 LT100. That's 50 weeks at an average of 60 miles per week (some will be more / some will be less ... ranging from 40 miles a week to 80 miles a week essentially) + 15 'zero / vacation / contingency' days (in addition to scheduled rest days) should I choose / need to take them. I finished my last '100' (actually 135 miles) at my 13th finish at Badwater in July 2009, then took a rest year in 2010 where I averaged…See More
