Today began the my second training cycle of 2026, targeting the Atlanta Track Club Wingfoot Mile.
Sunday I raced the Big Beach Half Marathon in Gulf Shores, AL.
With admittedly low mileage, I gave it my best effort. I’m happy with my strategy and effort, but with a VDOT of 37.5, this was my slowest race effort since I’ve been tracking my VDOT.
Tomorrow I’m running the Big Beach Half Marathon. My friend, Steve, is running the marathon to celebrate his 60th birthday, and many of us have secretly been training to join him for the weekend.
We surprised Steve yesterday so I can finally publish my training details.
Wednesday I raced the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Cross Country 5k.
Even though I faded hard on the third mile, my strategy for that mile was just to “hold on.” I hit my strategy on the first two miles, so technically I hit my strategy for the whole race.
My plan for tomorrow’s cross country race.
