Extreme Veteran  694   |  Subject: Finaly broke 100 miles running this monthWhile 100 miles is pretty low mileage for truly dedicated runners, it is a real milestone for me. The weather has been bad so biking and swimming miles are way down. Running though can be done in near tornado conditions, so I figured it was a good time to add some miles. I plan on doing my second Marathon this January and I hope to complete is in less than 4:00 hours. Last year (my first Marathon ever) with no long runs except one half marathon and fairly low monthly mileage, I finished in 4:34, but it was personally a disappointing time and I was really maxed out physically. |

Master 2426 Central Indiana | Subject: RE: Finaly broke 100 miles running this month Congrats! I'm doing my 2nd marathon next weekend, & would be very happy with your 4:34. I also hit 100mi for 1st time last month & my middle-aged knees & feet tell me I may have got there too fast. |

Champion 5376 PA | Subject: RE: Finaly broke 100 miles running this month I think that is a cool milestone. It's definitely a goal of mine. I hit my 25,000 yd swimming month and my 500 mile biking month but I failed at 100 miles running. I registered for a marathon next May so I expect to hit that goal in the next few months. |

Veteran 345 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Finaly broke 100 miles running this month That's a goal I'm working toward, was so close this month, will probably be about 92...something always seems to get in the way though, this month I lost one long run due to tapering for a race, then strained a muscle in said race and missed two runs this week. But it seems like every month there is one "bad" week (illness, other committments) and I just don't get there. So I think you should be very proud of it! Maybe for in November for me! |

I also hit 100mi for 1st time last month & my middle-aged knees & feet tell me I may have got there too fast. Ok. Now I'm wondering where everyone is getting this advice. I'm not coach at all, but can tell you if you are running 100 miles a month and you can't BQ your age group/gender you are running some serious junk miles. You can run a great marathon with 4 runs per week (5 runs per week only during peak weeks). One fast tempo. One hard hill run. One middle distance. One long distance. Peak around the mid-50s. |
