OK: mating up what I've been doing to train for a backpacking trip with a Higdon base training I'm here at the beginning of the intermediate Base Training and with one gap for a backpacking trip (which will be a whole different type of training) and a family vacation, I'm right at the weekly plan for CIM using the Novice 2 plan.
I do need to find a track or measure some distances on the trail for the speedwork.
I have hills picked out and frankly until our backpacking trip my hill workouts are Sisyphus style hill cycles with a weighted pack, more than running.
I modified one week to show the Halloween half. I need to find another half in October.
(edit, that table did not format)
