Mileage base

With the triathlon season over, you would think that I would be
laser-focused on run training.

Last summer and autumn I ran so little that when I increased my
mileage to prepare for the Tokyo Marathon I was beset my a whole
assortment of over-training injuries (shin splints, hip pain, back
pain). So I had grand ambitions of building a better mileage base
this year, and until mid-September I was largely on track. However a
lingering virus, travel, and minor hip pain have conspired to shatter
these plans.

The rule of thumb is never increase mileage by more than 10% per week,
so now as I finally start to run consistently I am still limited in my
training. Here is my monthly mileage: (in kilometers)
