2008 Training Plan

After a 4 month layoff I am recently back to running. The layoff was not related to an injury but none the less, after 4 months I need to work hard to get back into race shape. My plans are to try and get a much mileage I can at an easy pace. In order to do this and keep specificity for ultramarathons (specifically longer than 50k) I am doing my runs a few days per week but keeping the runs an hour or longer during the week and 3 + hours on the weekend. With longer runs and more recovery time I may suffer at shorter distances but believe I will get the most bang for the time I have to spend for ultra distances.
