Good job - your training has been great in the last two weeks. Keep it up!

Thanks... I am going to continue to prescribe to your principal of 60-70 mile weeks andsee what I can run a 26.2 race in come October.... I am Bumping mileage up again next week.

I have been steadily bumping for last few weeks. Should I continue to add 10% a week...

Or should I add 10% per week for 3-4 weeks... Back off a week and then continue to build base?

I feel good thus far adding the 10% weekly.

By the way thanks for the words of encouragement...

Go by how you feel. It is a good idea to keep up a steady mileage for a couple of weeks after you've increased it just to make sure your body is adjusting to it well. Some people find backing off for a week to get a break once in a while helpful. However, since for busy people backing off often happens naturally due to the lack of time, you should probably not schedule it, and just wait for a convenient moment.
