Coming off the recovery week, I began the lactose threshold and endurance phase of the Pfitzinger plan. After six weeks of endurance training, I feel like I have a good base. As I wrote after my long run Friday, those 12-and 14-mile runs are paying off. Speed-wise, I'm not quite there, but the next several weeks are what hopefully will get me there. It was my most miles so far of training, made a little more complicated because I traveled to Washington to see friends. That made me mix up training a bit and move up my long run. The real test is an 18-mile race in two weeks. I'd like to race it to see for sure how I'm doing.
Miles: 69

Wow, that 10/14/11/21 pattern is touch and ambitious. No wonder your hammy is sore.
About your 30K race. May I humbly suggest you run it as a test, at goal marathon race pace, not all out. That is quite a long distance and the recovery will really eat into your training time.
Meant tough not touch.
Hey,
The runs last week got bunched up only because of scheduling around a trip out of town. The 11 wasn't awesome. But I had a day off before the long run. That helped.
Yes, I think I'd run the 18-miler at marathon pace. Last year, I did it in 2:08.
I don't know my heart rate b/c I don't wear a monitor. Despite my aversion to "gear," I should probably consider giving one a try.
