    AAAAAAH!!! I was told no running for 4-5 weeks. You know that's not likely gonna happen. Hey, I saw the assistant not the surgeon today... So, I don't have to listen right? I can swim or bike, and do glute strengthening exercises. No running until I regain glute strength. :disappointed:

    I have running clothes with me... How can I not? GRRRR!

    On a personal note, I hit a major milestone this morning - 6.27 miles! I can now run 10k! Average pace was 11:07 so a bit longer and a few seconds faster than my last run. B)

    Yay!!! Congrats!!

    If you are running 6+ miles in training, they are well positioned for that 13.1. :)

    @Elise4270 I think that reaction to not being able to run is what some would say "You are a runner!" When your reaction to a running ban is "thank you doctor" then you are "not a runner"

    @shrcpr - Congrats on the 10k! (pushes the 13.1 button)...Ooops! Did I do that? :blush: As for the longer runs, one long run per week is fine and actually a good limit when newer to building up to these distances.

    @Elise4270

    Condolences. Not running because you need to rehab isn't much fun.

    All I can say is, embrace the glute strengthening exercises. They're what will get you back to running, and possibly prevent future recurrences of the same reason for not running.

    @Elise4270 - I think the best way to get a runner to run is to tell them they shouldn't run. It's classical reverse psychology. When your training plan says you have to get out there to do that 12 miler you find yourself sitting there wondering if it's too hot outside to run, or too much lightning, or too many squirrels, or whatever. But...tell them they shouldn't run and BAM!

    My *kitten* is weak. I have nerve impingement. Strengthening will help. Then a shot. Maybe then I can get the surgeon to clip the tethering.

    So after reading (slow day at work so got a lot of reading in) 80/20 I think for the summer when I am not really doing anything but slow building knowing that I will loose ground this winter (hate dreadmill so runs will decrease)

    Day 1: 6-8 miles* - Zone 2 - 81-89% of LT
    Day 2: 6-8 miles* - Zone 3 - 96-100% of LT
    Day 3: 6-8 miles* - Zone 2 - 81-89% of LT
    Day 4: Rest or recovery run (Zone 1)
    Day 5: Long run - Low end of Zone 2
    Day 6: Rest or recovery run (Zone 1)
    Day 7: Rest


    * actual distance will be determined by time, not miles.

    I think I can use that up till 18-20 weeks before the marathon. Then I can try one of the marathon plans in the 80/20 book.

    Also for now I am going to assume the 162 HR of my 10k PR (50:53) is close enough to LT for these numbers.

    A big part of this plan is to get used to trying and hit and stay in a HR range. That will matter a lot when I try the 80/20 marathon plan I think.

    Am I on the right track?
