This is not the log of each workout I do, but rather a higher level summary of what's happening with my training overall. For a detailed log, I use [[SportTracks]] and publish to [[Dailymile]] at http://www.dailymile.com/people/JonathanS.
==April 2015==
I further reduced my training in April, with only 43 miles of [[Treadmill Descent]], which seems to have helped a little. Given it's been four months of reduced training and I'm still feeling a little burned out, I'm becoming concerned this might be a mild case of [[Overtraining Syndrome]].

==March 2015==
March was another low mileage month. It includes a taper for Umstead 100, plus running 50 miles of the race. I did 103 miles of [[Treadmill Descent]], and my legs struggled to cope. I'm still feeling a little burned out after last year's high mileage.

February had even lower mileage than January, but this figure hides some good news. After some downtime to recover enough from the [[Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness| DOMS]] so I could pace the Myrtle Beach Marathon, I've done 145 miles of [[Treadmill Descent]], descending over 80,000 feet. My legs are adapting to the downhill nicely, and I'm pleased with the progress. I'm intending to continue focusing on the downhill for the first week or two of March, then transition to more normal running, then a taper for Umstead 100.
