I did discover an interesting factoid while doing intensive research on the topic, however. Ok, I stumbled upon it while updating my running log. Without any conscious effort my weekly mileage breakdown over the last 3 weeks was as follows:
Run Miles | Snow Miles | Total Miles | Run % | Snow % | Weekly Increase |
25.1 | 10.5 | 35.6 | 71% | 29% | - |
30.6 | 12.5 | 43.1 | 71% | 29% | 21% |
36.7 | 14.8 | 51.5 | 71% | 29% | 19% |
So without even trying I increased my weekly mileage by about 20% each week and still maintained an exact 71% - 29% split between running and snowshoeing. How about that? I have no idea what it means but I thought it was interesting regardless.
Of course now that I'm onto myself I'll totally skew the data this week, guaranteed.
