tracking training

former training philosophy:

-mix of road and trail running
-long runs 3-6 hrs. on trails, generally every other week, to train for ultras
-self-created training plans
-maintenance mileage during week, run 3-5 days per week on average
-diet philosophy: sometimes low fat, cut weight, sometimes not
-weight class:  usually clydesdale, 200 lbs. +
-2-4 weight training sessions per week
caffeine intake: ZERO

current training philosophy:

-will walk on roads in off season, no running
-100% of running on trails
-no structured training plan, train by feel
-varied pace, lots of power hiking, will gentle run downs depending on feel and conditions
-goal is to strength build and work towards durability
-very few long training runs, aim for accumulated time on feet.  this means lots of double and triple workouts
-diet philosophy:  none, probably need one
-weight class:  always clydesdale, 200 lbs. ++
-zero weight training due to back
-caffeine intake: coffee fiend
