Mike Trains for Cleveland by damian66

Last week after supporting my wife and friends as they ran the Philly marathon and half marathon, I began training for my next race.  I Cleveland several years ago and bonked badly at the 18 mile mark.  Despite very difficult conditions including rain and wind, I finished but was not very satisfied with my performance.  Beginning is difficult.  I haven't been this out-of-shape in many years.  I'm starting by splitting my runs doing three miles in the morning and two in the evening to build up my aerobic base for later training.  I am also planning on making it the Y for strength work and cross training two days per week. 

Last week's workouts - 17 miles
