Race Date: 17 June, 2007

This is the training schedule I am following for the Bighorn Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run.

You can find target and actual mileage ran during the training.

The schedule I am running is basically a 4 week cycle. Three weeks of progressive mileage, followed by one week of rest.

You will notice that the first two weeks are repeated in each cycle, followed by one week of mileage gain. The goal is to build a solid base, rather than trying to constantly add mileage.

That plan may change once my mileage gets over about 70 miles per week. In those cycles, I'd be running three consecutive weeks with mileage over 50 miles, which may be a bit much.

In the event that I think I'm putting too much strain on myself as I approach the 70 mile/week mark, my plan may change, so check back here sometime in March to see if the schedule has been modified.

Check back here regularly to follow along, I'll be updating this log weekly with my actual mileage.
