Bear training weeks 19-20 recap

Week 19 was a planned rest week. I did more biking and enjoyed watching or listening to the Western States Endurance Run livestream while gardening and running on a treadmill at the gym.

• 10.6 miles running

• 318 ft D+ running

• 7 hours, 12 minutes all training

In week 20 I ran more than 35 miles! My biggest mileage and elevation gain of the season. Recovering from Achilles tendinopathy while training has been challenging, but it seems like I'm succeeding.

• 36.8 miles running

• 6,280 ft D+ running

• 14 hours, 30 minutes all training

I ran four times and did back-to-back long runs for the first time in ages. 10 miles on Saturday and 14 today in two trips up Towers Trail in Lory State Park. My body is feeling okay afterwards, so I'm optimistic that I'll be able to do more next week. I think I've got the capacity for a 50 mile week with 10,000 ft before Never Summer.
