Another solid week building up the miles. Very pleased with getting 3 runs of 15 or more miles. Weekend weather was great which allowed me to have a good finish to the week. Overall most of the runs I felt great by the end. I can feel my body getting very strong week by week even with no workouts. Here's a recap of this months training:
| Week | Date | Long Run | Distance (miles) | Time (min) |
| 3 | June28July4 | 15 | 83 | 571min |
| 4 | July 5July12 | 16 | 93 | 633min |

Base mileage is a very important part of training that is often ignored by non-Lydiard believers. I think it's very important to maximize fitness as much as possible before moving on to any hard efforts or workouts. By the end of this base phase I should feel confident that I can run pretty close to my PR's in any events from 8k-up. When the hills, tempos, progressions and workouts kick in is when I will have a little breakthrough of sorts. For now #1 goal is maximizing the BASE phase. Miles, miles and more miles.
