Pecan Team - Just Wanna Run - November (Page 8)

TOP PAGE  

For me there are 2 big steps up from racing 5k  to  21K (half marathon) .

First step is moving up to 10K distance ,   

Second Step  is completing & racing  10 miles .

Then  I would go for a half  13.1  . 

Time wise it depends how  you  add  weekly mileage and stay healthy .

Increase your base mileage  per month  but by no more than 10%  . 

Try adding a mile to your long run every other week like in this

training schedule below .  Two things are important :  the long run

and the weekly mileage.

Thanks for the info... Right now I am not planning on a half mary, I have to start to love running first....

Currently I plan a 10K in April and several 5Ks and 8Ks leading up to that... This is all the prep for my first sprint tri next year and the fact that running is for me the scariest portion of a tri.

x2 for me on that question also.?

NM just finished reading the thread and saw the answer.  Thanks.

 To answer many questions about running  ..  I cant recommend this book enough for its wisdom and simplicity . I first took it out at the  public library along with everything else they had available on running and found myself  rereading it over and over .  I eventually just bought it .   

 http://www.amazon.com/Running-101-Joe-Henderson/dp/0736030565

 I have been running for 4 years, from marathons to triathlons to weekend trail runs, and yet this book tells me things about running that I have either forgotten or had not yet learned. And the format of the book makes it easy to read a topic for a quick bit of insight or motivation. A good solid resource for runners from beginners to veterans!

Ask for it for as a Stocking stuffer .  

Have a question about the spreadsheet.  When we enter in our miles for this week are we just to enter the weeks total or is it total miles from begining of month?  The reason I ask is cuz after that first week it has me at 38% goal acheived, but now for this week it has me only 10%.  Sorry I'm a bit confused.

I know, was confusing for me at first too. The formular is set-up that you need to enter your total miles all the time and just move from column to next column every week for the cut-off.

Thank you, have to go change the spreadsheet and add another 4.05 miles. 

Sweeeeeeeeet! Great job!!!!

LOL!!! Got my run on today, and it was nearly epic! A good solid breakthrough run for me. My blog is loooooooooooooooong, if you are interested in what I was thinking about. Haven't decided if I'm going to run tomorrow. I should in order to stay on track (that's what I get for skipping Monday), but I might be too sore from today. I can't make it up Saturday - oh, who knows! I'll figure it out in the morning.

I just read your blog.... Great run!!! WTG!!! Thank you for sharing that!

No running for me today, got mine in yesterday and will again tomorrow.  Today I WILL be doing some working out with bands.  Should be fun, my rear is still sore from the last time I did these   Yeah Good times

Well... then you know it works! Always tell yourself... This is good pain, this is good pain, this is good pain.... etc

Bump..... The thread was way too far down the list..... Where is anybody??? RUNNING??? Of course!

I got 2.66 miles in tonight and I am a little over 50% now. NICE....

And to answer your question... We are close to 41% and we still have until Sunday to get to 50% as a team.....

GREAT JOB EVERYBODY AND KEEP ON RUNNING!!!!

Added some miles today after a Rest day yesterday.

Followed the run with a quick spin on the gym bike reading :

Runners World and did a little weight work : lunges ,squats , extensions , crunches ,  curls , press  all  one set @ 10-15 rps medium weight  so i was tired  but not hurting afterwards.  

Team Wise :  We are at 41.5%   and appear to have opened up a Big Lead   .  Woohoo !

  But then perhaps not all reports are in for them Other  teams. 

So keep plugging away  at your goals and be sure to hydrate and rest well in order to come back stronger.
