Not setting any world records but this was a BIG ACHIEVEMENT for me! Looking forward to the future!
STG: Jog 1 mile
LTG: Jog 5K
Such a wonderful achievment! You will be at your goal before you know it! I started C25k March of last year, I ran my first 5k in June and my second in sept. I'm training for my first 10k in June. Keep up the great work!0 -

Actually, the rule of thumb is no more than 10% of weekly miles each week.
But there are those that say there is no backing behind this. Some can handle more and some can handle less.
There are also some that add 1 mile each week.
Jack Daniels goes by, however many days (or workouts) you run each week, add that many miles; but hold that new mileage for at least 4 weeks before attempting adding more mileage.

EDIT:
Here is another viewpoint on increasing mileage:

I think my eyes glazed over and I read "don't add too much, too fast" lol! Anyway...what you said.0 -
@Virkati I know it may seem counter intuitive, but I read somewhere that women tend to get injured waist down, men feet up. Meaning women's issues tend to originate in the hip area, Q angle thing. So if a woman has calf issues, its prob in the hips. If a man has calf issues, its in the feet to calves.
Like @WhatMeRunning said, desk jobs,
And lots of sitting. Focusing on your core might be the answer. I am bias since I have chronic issues though.

a rather adorable dog too
Of course this pup is all over our local FB running site and people are saying how he will run with them for 10 - 15 miles and then go off and run with another group who goes by. What a hoot.
@karllundy they need to meet and see if either gets a word in. LOL
This woman here is my hero...full marathon on a treadmill. Can't even begin to imagine. I had to grab the comment on the corral because it cracked me up.
Does 45,000 steps seem like its 26 miles? 10,000 is suppose to be about 4 miles.?.. Just curious.
Well maybe that's right with a longer stride... Never mind, mine calculated out to be 48,000 walking... Never mind...0 -

My lowest daily step count at any of my few fulls so far was 40,439. My highest was 65,443. I know I walked more before the race on the higher count, but have to wonder why such a huge difference. I was dead after that lower one, might be why.
ETA - My phone died at mile 20 on that lower step count race. I forgot about that. I took way too long. Poor phone never had a chance.0 -

Today's notes - I had worked the miles so that I could afford the group run of only 6 to 6.5 miles today. It had snowed and mostly melted today, but there were some slick spots; the group went mostly at the slow end of my easy range, or even slower on some sections of trails. It was incredibly easy, and just what I needed today.
It's not always about pushing for longer distances or pushing for a faster pace. Sometimes it's nice to just have a short, pleasant run with congenial company. This is particularly true for the day sandwiched between two speed workouts.
Had a conversation with another member of my running club before the group run this evening. Told him I'd come to the conclusion that the most important part of the training program isn't the sexy speed work, and isn't the sexy long runs. The most important part is getting sufficient recovery. That means running a lot of easy miles, getting enough sleep, and being smart enough to quit while you still have miles left in the legs.

I love seeing all your guys' dogs running! And I love, love, love the stories about the dog running the marathon, and the 8 year old too! Thanks for posting them, they are too cool. If I ever run a half marathon (one day maybe!) it may have to be that one. I can pair it with a work trip to Birmingham, and then afterwards visit my friends in Nashville before flying back home.
I've also enjoyed reading everyone's technical tips and stories about what they're doing. I'm always learning more from you guys. Right now I feel like all my runs are pretty similar, except shorter runs are a little faster, and if I want to run longer distances I keep it slower, to make it to the end. And if I run outside in the neighborhood, there are some small hills.
Tonight was 7 miles on the treadmill, longest run yet. It's definitely a bit of a head game-if I tell myself it's time to settle into a long haul on the treadmill, usually it's not as hard to get through it. Right now I'm feeling tired and sore, but I'm happy with the accomplishment. I had a yummy dinner at Panera after and now I think I'm ready for bed.

@5BeautifulDays I'm just as surprised. Shocked, actually. Before my recent weight loss (275 in July of 2015 to 180 right now) I typically lived in the 210 range as an adult. I was somewhat fit but was never a runner. I'm going to take the advice from you and @Stoshew71 and increase gradually. Although I think I might be determined enough to push myself to 100 I really don't want to injure myself trying. Thanks for the tips!

For the most part I track it all together. If I walk parts of my long runs or races I count it all as part of the run. I admit that earlier on I had trouble with counting it all together as I was trying to increase my distance. But truth be told it is no difference. The only change is how much I can do before I have to walk. If I know I am being a wimp though, that is a whole different thing. In that case I have to stomp on the wimp and get to running.
So doing c25k using Runkeeper, I should hit go running, instead of go walking? On my spread sheet I can seperate it, but I have Runkeeper synced to MFP.0 -

@Stoshew71 - that is so crazy about the 8 yo setting a world record! wow! Do you think there could be issues for him later in life from running so much at such a young age? I mean I ran a bunch as a kid, all over the place as kids do, but not 13 miles at a pop.
@HonuNui - love the flounder! Oh and I will be there for the superbowl luau... not sure how I will get there, especially since I have a race here in the morning but you got me at kalua steamed pig!Had a conversation with another member of my running club before the group run this evening.

I went out for a stress relieving sunset run after sitting at my desk all day buried in meetings and too much work. All I can say is that it was simply a fabulous run! It was beautiful out, the sky was brilliant with purples and pinks and the temps were just right in the 50-60s. I ran my trail but was worried it was gong to be too dark for the return so I took the out and around street route and when I looped back around by the trail entrance I decided to go back on the trail away from all the cars heading home even though it was getting pretty dark. I thought I had gone 6 miles when I got home and felt like if it weren't so dark I could have gone a few more. I was so surprised that I had run over 7. Tomorrow is supposed to be hot but I am hoping to get in a late morning run between meetings if it isn't too bad.

Got out again yesterday with the running club at lunch and did a very muddy 5km. I'll be getting out again this weekend, making this January my highest mileage month for the past year! Really starting to enjoy this again. I'm thinking 60 miles is a good amount to aim for in February.

^^ This! Sometimes I run/walk of my long runs - I could it all as my run!
I use the run/walk option on my Garmin watch - It beeps at me to run for 4 mins.. Then it beeps again to tell me to walk for 1 min. You just go for as long as you want basically.
For those without watches with a run/walk function - Runkeeper Pro offers the Galloway 4:1 method - So you run the app, it tracks your distance using GPS and beeps at you so you know when to run or walk... But I think it costs around $10 a month .. so Just depends if you want to pay that.
Otherwise, do a search on your play store or itunes (phone app) for an interval app - Tell it you want to run for 4 mins/walk 1 min... it should work in much the same way! You may have to run a GPS app in the background (Endomondo, Runkeeper, Map My Run etc.) to track your distance, if the interval app doesn't do that for you though

@mobycarp - I read a quote once that said something like the experienced runner knows the importance of rest days. Like everyone else here, I don't like the rest days but I am learning to just think of them as getting stronger. I do have trouble getting enough sleep unless it's summer.
@kristinegift - you must have a stomach of steel! I know I couldn't run that soon after eating. I had Panera last night too.

I gave in and did speedwork this morning despite running too fast for my midweek long run yesterday. All the melting snow froze overnight, and I did not wanna deal with that in my pre-caffeinated state, so I hopped on the treadmill and did the only thing I can do on a treadmill: speedwork! I stole the workout from my Believe Training Journal, and it was not only a good boredom buster, but seriously tough! Recovery was at 6.5 miles per hour, and my highest speed on the fastest segment was 9.0 mph. I'll post a pic below; it's a workout called "Strength ladder". There's supposed to be a second marathon pace mile (one after another), but that would have been too much distance for what I had scheduled.
According to the book, "The paces get easier as the intervals get longer, and then they get gradually faster again on the way back down the ladder." You can also do it by time (2, 3, 4, 5 mins, with 2-3 min rest between each) if that floats your boat. I chose 5k pace through marathon pace, since those are good paces for me to practice.

1/15 - VJ the greyhound woke me up 3x in the night to go out, two kids and myself coughing all night and one kid with high fever this morning = another morning of no run. UGH! I am getting cranky...so going to miss my goal this month!

@Ch1psNQueso - Wow! Great loss! Way to go! I would second (third?) the add miles slow, especially the first time building up. When I first upped my mileage, I went a little to quickly and had some ITB issues. If you want more of a cardio workout, add some stationary bike, rowing machine, etc. after your run.
@kristinegift - Yep, that refreeze sucks. Same reason I haven't run outside the last two days. It is bad and really hard to see it at 5:00 a.m. Also, I agree with @ddmom0811, if I ran that soon after Panera, I would run the risk of a "reversal".0 -

@5BeautifulDays We are arriving at Disney the morning of 1/20 and will be there until the evening of 1/26. Our first sit-down meal down there is already reserved on Saturday night for T-REX. I've seen it there in the past, but I've never been there. It looks like a pretty cool restaurant, kind of like a Rainforest Cafe, but with dinosaurs?
Coincidentally, we will be spending Sunday at Animal Kingdom, as well. I have 10:45-11:45 FastPass scheduled for DINOSAUR, though I have a feeling we will probably be riding it multiple times, or at least they will be. We might end up all taking turns taking him, or something. He doesn't like "scary" rides, but I have a feeling when dinosaurs are involved, there will be an exception. I know Animal Kingdom will be his favorite park! We have dinner reserved in Epcot that evening. Sunday will be a princess day for me. My friend wanted to meet a few of them, so we decided to do the princess character meal in Norway. I will see more princesses on 2/21 than I have probably seen my entire life! haha
Ideally, I would love to do the Coast to Coast challenge for Disney and do both the Disneyland and Disney World Star Wars half marathons in one year. Maybe in 2018 or 2019 when they have their Star Wars additions completed. This will be my seventh trip to Disney World (fourth time as an over 18-year-old). I've never been to Disneyland, but I will get there one day! I've been to California five times - four times passing through airports on my way to and from Australia and one long weekend for a wedding in Laguna Beach. I would love to explore more of the state, one day!0
