Highest mileage for a week.
Yesterday, I joined Magical Mystery Tour of Tokyo #2 with Brett, Bob, Keren and Jay. We started with very relaxed pace, perhaps over 5min per k pace, then gradually increased the speed, but not so much. At the final 5k, I got sick and had to slow down but others were running strongly at the finish.
The course was great. We mostly took foot paths and trails along the river. I was amazed that there were so many paths in Setagaya-ku.
Including this 32km run, I managed 126km for a week, the highest mileage I have ever made for a week. It's mostly because of this new year holiday, but I will try keep over 100km weeks for this months.

Mika, great mileage! I think you will have a great Tokyo. I cannot take it for granted that I'll finish ahead of you! Should I use my secret alcohol breath weapon again? ;-)
That's equal to the biggest week I've ever run. You're a better runner than I was, as I could only run 3:11 back then.
Be careful...
Hey Mika - do you see you're in a magazine? "Runners" - a little story on you. Well done with the high mileage. I just read a book by Derek Clayton - former marathon WR holder - he said he'd run a marathon for training once a week for 10 weeks before the marathon he was going to race. No wonder he had surgery 8 times!
Steve, no alcohle breath, never evver again!!!!
Silly me, just read why you're in the mag
Gordon, thanks for finding me in the magazine anyway. Yes, I usually write for the magazine, but they sometimes try to use me as an interviewee because it's easy. I prefer being an interviewer side, though.
The marathon guide looks handy (the main reason I bought the mag). Pity they wrote "Gide" instead of "Guide" on the cover. Same thing happens in adverts for the newspaper I work for - we get ads with unreadable English on them, and I can't work out why people don't think to check an electronic dictionary/friend/internet to make sure a word is spelt correctly.
