Thanks @Amandajs232
Have also been thinking about parkrun - timing hasn't worked out in the past but looks like I should be able to do every other week going forwards. Looks like fun so glad to hear you enjoyed yours, and would be good to get official times rather than just what my phone says.
@ddmom0811 - can't quite believe it myself. My first time out (6 weeks ago) I managed to jog for 4 minutes - if you can call it that as wasn't much quicker than walking! After a couple of minutes rest I started again and did another 3 minutes. At that point my stretch aim was to get to 5K by end of this month so I'm very pleased to have done that a couple of weeks ago and now completed week two of B210K programme and well on my way to 10K.2 -

I wanted 6-8 miles today, but I just wasn't feeling it this morning. I am getting to the point with my injury where I honestly don't know if my calf actually feels weird/tight or if I'm focusing on it so much that I'm creating the sensation in my head. Either way, I'm sure another day of lower mileage won't hurt. I'll try for double digits tomorrow morning any how after some compression sleeve fashion stylings today

Forgot to mention yesterday that I tried out new shoes. I bought them a couple months ago and finally got them out. Wore them for 4 mile run with extended walking warmup and cool down. Totally forgot I was wearing them so I'll take that as a good sign! These are the Launch 2. I still have 2 other pairs on hold on the closet.
My glutes are so sore from that hill yesterday. I rarely have felt sore there (usually squats and lunges I only feel in the thighs) but lately I'm getting sore there so I'm wondering if all the pilates I've done for 3-4 months has activated my glutes so I'm actually using them?
@Orphia What a scary experience at parkrun! Nice PR though.
@dkabambe Good job

@Orphia , @Ohhim , @MobyCarp - thanks so much for your feedback!
Yeah, I know taking it from a half to a full is going to be a whole different ballpark, and I really want to make sure I do it the right way, as I know my HM training 'plan' has been very haphazard.
Will definitely check out some of those upstate NY races, and the DC Marine Corps race. And, I am actually a huge Disney fan, lol, so that one was already on my radar. I did the Tower of Terror 10 Miler down there several years ago, which was really fun, but was an extremely humid occasion for it.
As far as the NYC Marathon, other than getting a qualifying time (which isn't happening, lol) the only way I know, asides from the lottery, is the 9+1 method. This, I believe, involves participating in 9 NYRR races + volunteering at 1 NYRR race in the year before the marathon. So for the 2017 marathon, I would have had to do that in 2016.
I'll also look into Hal Higdon plans, the Strava plan (don't have Strava, will have to check it out), and see what the local scene is like.
Again, thank you so much for all the input! You guys rock!1 -
Completed my 10k training! Yay! Now to work on my speed...can't believe that I ran so many miles this month.2 -
So, these were yesterday's runs. I totally screwed up, lol. I ALWAYS check the current weather conditions before I go out. Yesterday, before my planned 3 mile lunch break run, I got wrapped up in work and failed to check. I went out thinking, gee it's definitely sunny, and it feels particularly hot, and like I'm breathing syrup, and like I'm wrapped in a heated blanket. At 2.4 miles I started feeling nauseated. At 2.73 miles, after my 3rd time up the little hill section of my 1 mile loop, I threw in the towel before I actually threw up. Pulled out my phone while I was cooling in the shade and realized that the heat index was 98 degrees! Dew point of 74. Now, I've been running in the heat all summer, but never went out when the heat index was that high, and am even more sure now of that being a wise decision, lol.
So, to make up for it, I went to the gym after work and did another 2.27 miles on the treadmill. Was originally gonna be a 3 mile day, but made it 5, lol.

@KatieJane83 - If you want the Disney experience without the humidity you could always come to California. The races here aren't as scenic since you are running in the neighborhoods surrounding the park. The HM I ran here went through both parks, the back lots and the neighborhoods and had quite a bit of entertainment along the way but little to no fan support. I believe the marathons do the same but also go through Anaheim Stadium and along the river. I am glad I did one Disney, it was fun and well organized, but I will probably not do another. I did love that there were more people waiting to have pictures with the characters than waiting for the bathrooms though!
@dkabambe - Congratulations on coming along so far in such a short period! You definitely deserve those new shoes!2 -

Today's notes: Well, I did my first real trail run this morning. There was a lot of walking during the first half (uphill at a ski resort) but the second half made up for it pace wise. Total distance was 7.75 miles with a total elevation gain of 687 feet according to Strava (Garmin said more, but Strava has given more consistent elevations).
I have to say, I really enjoyed the run. Sure, I walked a bunch, but I was able to make up some of the time on the downhills. I ended up running the miles in 1:20:32 for a pace of 10:23, which is just slower than the slow end of my E range, and somewhere in the middle of my LR pace range. Total time was actually closer to like an hour and 45 minutes because of time spent with my Garmin paused checking maps to figure out where I was going.
Mile splits along with some things I was thinking as I ran
Mile 1: 11:59 pace 276 feet elevation.... Oh GOD, what am I doing?
Mile 2: 11:29 pace 75 feet elevation gain..... I think I'm going to die!
Mile 3: 10:28 pace 83 feet net downhill...Maybe this isn't so bad...
Mile 4: 11:13 pace 73 feet elevation gain....Just kidding....I hate my life....
Mile 5: 9:36 pace 64 feet net downhill.... I love running!
Mile 6: 9:56 pace 84 feet net downhill....well, that little uphill in the middle wasn't too bad
mile 7: 9:13 pace 180 feet net downhill.... I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar
last 0.75: 8:49 pace 3 feet elevation gain.....Just had to thrown in those last small hills did ya? Well, I'm done!3 -
@orphia - oh my gosh, that is so scary! Hope the person is okay.
@kristinegift - your post reminded me of what @Mobycarp said earlier this year. Something like we runners are either hypochondriacs or we think we are invincible and can never get hurt. I'm the same way.0 -

Tomorrow I will be completing my 10k training and I'm able to run 1 hour/ 5 miles non stop. How should I continue to train now?

I really want to keep my stamina up but will i burn out?.
I am not sure what your current weekly mileage is, but I would shoot for running 3 times per week @ 3-4 miles plus one "long" run. Start with your long run at your current long distance and work on adding 1/2 to 1 miles per week for 3 weeks and then cut back a mile or two for one week. This is assuming you are currently running close to this mileage. If not, work your way up to it by adding no more than 10% per week to your current mileage. If you can do this type of running for a few weeks before you start an official plan, you should be in really good shape for your half. However, there are tons of plans out there, many that assume you are starting from ground zero. Since you have planned ahead, I think anything you do between now and then will help. Also, keep in mind that as you run more, you will start to get faster so you can possibly increase your shorter runs as well without adding too much time on your feet to your overall training. Good luck!2 -

Overview:
Ran a super easy 3 miles yesterday. Things just really aren't getting any better as far as my injury goes. I'm beginning to suspect that I have another tibial stress fracture, and that the pes bursitis was caused by modifying my stride (turning out my left foot) to take some stress off the shin. I say this because my knee is feeling a lot better, but I'm having pretty bad pain in my shin/calf region. It hurts the worst in the first few minutes of the run, then subsides slightly, but comes back with a vengeance one I stop running. It now hurts just to walk or stand on the leg too. My boyfriend watched me run some yesterday and confirmed that my gait was uneven/limping and that I was keeping the left knee slightly locked, so I definitely am not going to do any more running for the time being. I got my GP to refer me to an orthopedic center but I have to wait until monday to call them and make an appointment. I'm hoping they can diagnose me without an MRI because that *kitten* is expensive and I JUST got taken off of my parent's insurance plan 2 weeks ago and am now on my school's plan -_-
I'm just feeling really frustrated and down right now because I always seem to get injured. I've never once successfully made it through a training cycle injury-free; even when I ran for my college I got injured every season. I just can't explain it, I do everything right: stretch and foam roll every day, core twice a week, running-specific strength training twice a week, ice bath after long runs and ice any achy spots, I've slowed down the pace substantially over the last year and only run hard once or twice a week, I've been very conservative with increasing my mileage, rotate running shoes and retire them every 300-400 miles. Sometimes I just feel like I'm not meant to run.

Three (running) days left in the month. Monday is a long-run day (every other week I have Monday off from my day job, and I usually spend part of it at church catching up on that job... or trying to, at least), so we'll see how far I can stretch it.
Today was a pretty good run - I knew I was heavily-booked for the morning, so I had to get it started early. There were lots of folks around at 6:35 when I got started. Got to the end and had to circle around the parking lot a bit to get to an even stopping point (?!). When I stopped the watch, I asked myself - "Could you have done another 4.1 miles?" and the answer was - "Yes, but it'd be a LOT of walking!" That actually felt pretty good - to think I prob could've done it and it's still 5 months until the one(s) I'm aiming for. Finally getting some cooler temps helps, I know, but another part is the mental "yes, I can" that's part of me now.
Too, I got the tickets for the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert at the National Fair (10 rows from the stage!), and had a good rehearsal with my quartet for tomorrow's service AND some prep-work staging accomplished!

Good luck!
In addition, as your long run gets longer you will also need to increase the miles you do for the rest of the week. Your long run should be no more than 35% of what you do the entire week. If you can make your long run be closer to 25% of your weekly mileage, even better. Keep all paces at a conversational level as you increase mileage.1 -

Real Goals: Survive last month before retirement. Train as well as possible toward Rochester Marathon. Avoid putting myself back on the couch.
Today's notes – The assignment was to pace 22 miles at a target pace of 8:30 per mile. Garmin says it was 63° F (17° F) when we started, and it only warmed to perhaps 75° F (24° C) in the three hours it took. Humidity was pretty high, but it didn't feel as bad as last week's run out of the same location.
Started out with 6 runners in the group, but 4 only needed 13 miles. I went on with another guy pointing at Rochester Marathon for the last 9 miles, misreading the routes and making adjustments and somehow ending at 22.03 miles on my Garmin right at the program's water stop base.
I probably ran as much elevation change as a week ago, but finished strong with a stride by agreement with my remaining running partner. As near as I can tell, the differences were that it wasn't quite as warm, there was more breeze, and I wasn't running the last 10 miles alone like I did last week.
Last long run before the Rochester Marathon. Next weekend, I'll take Saturday off and run the Oak Tree Half on Sunday, then it's all taper to Rochester. It's been a crazy training cycle starting just training to get healthy and kind of making it up as I go along; but the training seems to be coming together now, right when I need it to.
