2019 Fitness Summary

After focusing on an average of 50 miles/week last year I decided to just run and let my fitness and health in charge of my training.  I see a lot of people get in trouble with putting a goal or race in front of their fitness and health and it almost always ends in disappointment. 

General Stats
Running - 2301 miles
Mtn Biking - 90 miles
Road Cycling - 1051
13 weeks of 50 miles or more
16 weeks of speed work leading up to the Richmond Marathon

Races;
02/16/19 Holiday Lake 50k - 5:59:35 - 10th Male

03/23/19 Terrapin Half Marathon - 2:08:20 - 5th and 1st Master

04/13/19 Bull Run Run 50 Miler - 9:51:46 

06/18/19 Bighorn 100 Miler - 30:34:31

11/16/19 Richmond Marathon - 3:09:43 - BQ accomplished

12/14/19 Hellgate 100k - 14:26:20 - 5th time Eagle Trophy and WS qualifier means no mandatory 100s in 2020

Roughly 290 miles of race miles which is 12.6% of my mileage for the year.

Following Holiday Lake I've battled a couple bio-mechanical issues.  I never felt great this year and am looking to work some of these out in 2020.  Always work to be done

2020 Plan - Vert, lots of vert

Terrapin Half Marathon in March

Broken Arrow VK and 50k races in June

The Rut Mtn Runs VK, 28k and 50k in September

Already thinking about 2021

Boston Marathon

100 miler that is a Hardrock qualifier
