[Weee]

To try and facilitate muscle growth as much as possible, during my "mini bulk" i'll only run 2x a week, and one day will be "sprints" of 1 to 1.5 miles to try and increase speed. I still have to do one very long run to reach my marathon goal but hopefully this will mitigate my body trying to eat itself. I'm also extending the weight range to 182 at the high end and still 175 at the low end to trigger my different cycles, this way if I put about 5 lb of muscle and 2lb of other on, and then when losing I lose 4.5 lb of fat and 2.5lb of muscle or something along these lines, there will be a decent net gain of muscle per cycle, I hope I'm not just shooting myself in the foot here, but it's the only way I can think of to both get stronger, and train for a marathon I can be proud of.

During "fat loss" I'll probably do 3 runs, 1 "sprints" again, 1 medium distance mid-week, and 1 long on the weekend.
