100 miles per week averages out to 14.2 miles a day. Long Runs of 20 miles or more every other Sunday. Interval work, hill reps, weights, maybe Jiu Jitsu (a big maybe). You know the cost. This is the life-defining moment for this human distance runner. The craziest training I will ever attempt in my life begins on June 1st and will be sustained for 12 weeks straight and relentlessly (“Burn” Phase) with a 6 week draw down period (“Taper” Phase) immediately after leading into November. I am 40 years old and this is the absolute last and final moment to push this human body as hard and as fast as I can. This is the last and final call. Let’s see how close we can get to 2:20 over 26 miles, 385 yards on Sunday, November 6th on the streets of my Home, New York City!
