Malmo I have a few questions about your log. In 1985 you averaged 104 miles per week yet only did 77 mpw in the winter season. Most runners run higher mileage in the winter, building a base. Is that because you were focusing for races in the fall instead of the late spring/ mid summer like many track runners? Also, you note that you got a hip injury in mid april when running about 100 miles per week and yet 2 months later you posted a 178 mile week.



Also, what pace are most of these runs? They are labeled easy, steady, moderate etc but what did each of those paces mean in terms of minutes/mile? Did you time your easy runs? I only ask because I am building my mileage up for the first time and may be running too fast. I averaged 50 miles/week 2 months ago about 6:45 pace with a couple runs a week at 6 minute pace. This past week was 63 avg 6:03 pace.
