The Chicago “plan”
Last post I talked about my meeting with Jerry (post here). Here is our plan… long post, beware! Periodization: I’ll take the next three weeks to just run. No set schedule. 40-45 miles this week, 80 next, 100 the 3rd week. I’ll add in a few “telephone pole” runs. I did my first one of…
