as you can see I like to play with numbers. Here is what my next pyramid would have to look like to match my increase/decreases in training methodology- i.e. a long way of saying I should never theoretically improve on an equal scale in comparison to my last training pyramid. Lucky for me I have many many training periods, as well as methods to improve the overall quality of training thus eliminating the need for 819% improvements. I did most of this just for fun, so you can think I'm crazy if you want, but I like numbers sometimes.

8471.73 miles
416 days 52.9 months
.36 longest break in training
19.84 days off
.227 average days off/week
650.7 days of running
28.87 average miles/day
190.4, 184.96 highest weekly mileage
84.5 longest run
73.7 minutes , 5.589 minutes - a 1:13:42 half with 5:37/mile for equivalent increase

haha Ann, this reminds me of Honors Math!
