Coach Weber's Training Log 2010

My 42nd season running the marathon distance or longer

My 24th season of running 100 milers or longer

My 23rd season of coaching ultramarathon runners



  Days remaining in 2010.  Make them count!

My goal for 2010?  Stay fit enough to do an occasional 50 km, enjoy being outside ... keep it relaxed.
No Badwater Ultramarathon ... but perhaps a Badwater to Mt Whitney 146 Mile Solo.

I am slightly below that right now.  In 2008 and 2009, oddly, my weight gradually rose from March through Badwater and would peak in September at 220 +/-.  I must reverse that trend. - - - - - -
