Logging the Kilometers

Logged 15K yesterday and 12.5 today, which gives me 33K for the week (including Monday's 5.5K). I think I'll crank out 5K tomorrow before hopping on the treadmill for an 8K run. Then it's the monster on Saturday. Is it 30K this week? We'll see. I built in a 10 second break every 2.5K this morning and it made a huge difference. I think I'll break the long row into 5K splits and build in a 20 second break. That'll be just long enough to stretch the back a bit and grab a drink. Using this method, and averaging 19:40 per 5K, would result in 2 hours in the saddle. I'd call that marathon training.
