Post-Collegiate Running

I don't really have any specific training plan set in place. I am at a stage in my life where it is stupid to do anything other than a really broad plan. My plan is as follows:

Build up to:

1) 100 miles a week(there is nothing magical about 100-it is just what I can handle-hopefully next year it will be 110)

2) 2 ten-milers at marathon race effort per week

3) A 22-mile long run at marathon pace +50"(~roughly the euqivalent of what Daniel's easy pace)

4) A fartlek which consists of 25 x roughly 60 meters(9-10 seconds) with at least 1'50'' recovery to maintain leg speed

5) Strides at the end of easy runs(4-6 x 60 meters)

Every fourth week I will take a down week of 75 miles, where the long run will be adjusted to 16 miles and the marathon pace efforts will become 7 milers.

I know this training seems boring, but I believe it is the only type of training that will allow me to improve.

I am going to keep repeating these four week cycles until I feel like I have an amazing aerobic base and to continue with these cycles would be like the phrase: "beating a dead horse"-it is not going to get you anywhere.

Then I will make a decision to use my base to either go to the track for the spring or run a spring or early summer marathon.

If I go to the track I will have a 4-week hill phase and a 16-week anaerobic phase(which will consist of a 10k, 5k, 1500s and 800s)

week one is already done: 20-miles with a 12' effort at 75-80% effort.
