I ran my first 1/2 marathon last Nov., chip time 1:44. For maintanance, I coninued to run every day averaging 50-56 mi. a week. (6-10 mi. a day). Ran my 2nd 1/2 marathon 2/14 and timed 1:35. I'm now training for a full marathon in June and average 60-70 mi. a week. One long run Sun., starting over w/lower mileage Mon. and building to the next Sunday. I dont usually take days off. My longest run has been 18.77 miles a few weeks ago, just before my last 1/2 marathon 2/14. Am I logging too many miles this far out from a June full marathon race? Please advise. I know I should take one day rest, but dont like to. I just recently dropped my lowest mile day from 8 to 6 (Mondays). Am I setting myself up for injury, or can I sustain this mileage? Most training programs log just 30-50 miles a week and it doesnt seem enough to me.
