I think my schedule peaks at 67.
It'll be interesting to move into the strength part of my schedule.
I've never actually done 3-mile speed intervals before. I think I've only ever done 2-mile speed intervals twice.
67 is a lot. I think my highest week ever is in the 50s. I should probably figure out how many miles my peak week will be. It's hard to tell when the training plan breaks it down into meters, kilometers, minutes, etc.
100% agree. I have no trouble carving out an hour/hour and a half four or fives times a week to go running. I love it. But I still rarely get more than 30 miles in doing that. I'm slow as fuck.
Any of you fellas use bone conducting headphones when you run? My wife got me a pair for xmas and they're pretty sweet. It's nice to be able to listen to music and still hear when cars, bikes, deer, etc are bearing down on me.
I haven't tried running with them without a hat or headband yet. The fit is kind of awkward. On my head at least, in the default position there's a 1" gap between the band and the back of my head. To keep them in place I push the band up until it's flush with my head and then use a hat to hold it in place.
That being said, they're pretty lightweight and feel well-balanced, so I don't think they would move too much on their own. I have the Aftershokz Air.

I like 24-hour races, but there's nothing that makes me want to run around a half-mile block in Queens 6,000 times.
I haven't watched that doc but last night I listened to an episode of the Outside Mag podcast about it. I was falling asleep while listening to it but apparently one guy ran a few extra laps at the end to make it an even 5000K? Crazy.
