On the road...

Back on the horse. My NYC recap never happened, or might happen, or... Alas I'm back.

The road to 2:29 is being paved each day. Might be a short country road or a long interstate. Goal is to build to it.

This week is 70-75 miles, a step up from 45 the week before. Much is made of the 10% rule. During regular training cycles, it is a handy rule of thumb. When rebuilding from a peak? Less helpful. Your body can tolerate more, otherwise you'd do 25...+2.5! Etc. Tomorrow is tempo. We'll see how that goes. Should be easy, but it's in the cold so who knows.
