While my training has made some progress, it is below my ambitions. A comparison to 2010, my best training winter:
Jan-Feb 2010
Jan-Feb 2012
Still getting out-trained by
PG, especially if you only compare running and O.
There is more variety in my 2012 regimen, but they're otherwise similar. I had hoped to be at about 210 miles (in accordance with a 1300 mile/year goal) of running and 20-30 hours of O. I will increase my trail running, O-training, and orienteering competition in the next few months, all of which have a lower marginal punishment cost to my body than does road running.
Lessons from the Sycamore Scramble A-meet, February 2010. My plan for the next two weeks: hard week, easy week; get lots of sleep, stay healthy, be in prime condition on race day.
