It's January 15th. Do you know how many days you've put in some miles so far? Why do I ask? It's important that you're consistent as we work our way up in mileage, that's why! ;)
Seriously though, simply knocking out the miles on Saturday, and spotty mileage the rest of the week may work early in the season. But, I assure you it will catch up as the mileage increase.
Ideally you are logging miles at least four days a week. More importantly your Saturday mileage should equal no more that 50% of your total weekly mileage!
This is important. Risk of injury goes up dramatically when you long run mileage outweighs the mileage you're logging the rest of the week.
Follow your schedule. Be consistent. Be relentless. See you at the next workout!
