This is not the log of each workout I do, but rather a higher level summary of what's happening with my training overall. ==Jan 2018==My fitness and mileage are both improving during Jan. I'm increasing the distance of my [[Long Run]]s, including some self-supported day-long runs. {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;"| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Miles'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Hours'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Num Runs'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Longest'''|-|248||42||25||48|}==December 2017==Only 163 miles in December, which reflects not only more [[High Intensity Interval Training]] (HIIT), but also a change to [[Cycling HIIT For Runners|| performing the HIIT on a stationary bike]]. That brings my total for the year to 2,595 miles, which is a little disappointing but not terrible. {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;"| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Miles'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Hours'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Num Runs'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Longest'''|-|163||24||27||17|} I'm still experimenting with my training plan, and I'm slowly adjusting to the treadmill descents. I'm now doing these once every 3 weeks, as the muscle soreness is still pretty catastrophic, and impairing my other training for the remainder of the week. Right now, I'm not sure that the more frequent training is proving effective. When I only train 4 days a detailed logweek, I can push things so hard that I'm deeply grateful for the rest days. Training more frequently means that the hard days and never quite as hard as they should be. Below is a rough outline of how my training has looked over the last month or so. However, it's been in a state of fairly constant flux as I've tweaked things.{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;"!

I use 've found it's taken me a while to adjust to the [[SportTracksDownhill Running]] and publish to , with some serious [[DailymileDelayed Onset Muscle Soreness]] for most of the month. The last treadmill descent was not bad, so hopefully I'm adapting. I dropped the Time Trial, though I may add it back in at http://wwwsome stage.

==October 2017==
During October, my training has continued to morph, and formalize enough for me to actually write it down. Typically, my training is a little more informally structured.
