Getting some nice volume there mate. Do you have a goal number, and do you plan on hitting that number for a certain time period. ie weeks?

Umm, well I probably won’t go much higher than this (60-65 miles), the duration of me hitting this volume is up to my coach. I have adapted to the volume pretty well and I just have to make sure I keep an eye on my diet and get 9 hours of sleep per night. I’m actually planning on doing a food log example for one day this week.
