Hi all! After 2.5 months out with piriformis syndrome I am now 95% ready. My goal is to stay healthy and run-ready. Let's say 120k for March!14

Welcome. There are a ton of amazing runners here. We have people of all experience levels, from folks just starting C25K to a sponsored ultramarathon racer, so alwasy feel free to join in conversations and ask any and all questions you have.3 -
Thanks @Stoshew71 for the amazing thread! Even though this school year I just can't keep up with all these amazing runners.
Thinking about my goal. IDK - got a couple long bike rides planned, assuming weather holds up. That will cut into my mileage. Going crazy lifting/strength training lately. So it will impact my mileage. Going to London March 29-April 6 so might get a couple long runs in the last 3 days of the month. Beats me--- roll the dice ... 75.

My March goal is to actually run and not hurt my foot again. Only two runs in Feb. so I'd like to try and get out at least once a week in March. I've also started Couch to 10K from the beginning this time since I really haven't run for a month.7
-
Getting going on C25K (again). I'll try for 20-25 miles in March, I don't want to set the goal too high. I'm only running two times a week - got to ease into it.
I'm wanting to make it three times a week in March. We'll see how that goes. I'll go back to lurking now until next update ha

Umm... I am going to go with a sliding scale goal. Even if all I get for the month is pt runs, that should be at least 5 miles. If I get some runs in outside of that but still have current limits in place, that should get me to 15.
So - 5-15 miles. Anything more is gravy. But I would like to actually meet one of these goals for a change.9 -
no goal for me. Doctor has advised to stay away from the gym and 'you'll lose weight anyway with this overactive thryoid' (erm - actually I run and go to the gym to increase my fitness, weightloss is a side effect)
a DNS to the night run 10k last weekend, and am pulling out of the 10 miler in a couple of weeks. My marathon dreams are looking sketchy at best.....
A friend told me something I keep trying to remind myself - and that is to Be Kind. I need to be kind to myself, and not beat myself up over not being able to do the things I want to do.
I'll be here, in this thread, running vicariously through everyone else. Please make sure you get some fantastic runs in so I can enjoy them through you.
It's going to snow here tomorrow (that's a big thing for us. The country goes into meltdown) so I am going to console myself with making snow angels.12 -
Hello - newly returned to MFP and working out after a long break. I am aiming for a "run a minimum of 2x/week for 30 min" goal to get back started.10

Welcome! You're in a good place to get help/support with running. The runners in here are amazing and come from a wide range of experience, from others starting on C25K all the way to a sponsored ultramarathon runner. If you ever have questions about running or other health/fitness stuff, feel free to ask!4 -

Does that mean I have to add up my planned mileage?Spreadsheet is at home so I'll do it tonight. Starting my training for a 1/2 this month.

Not even March yet and already two pages deep. Typical.
Once again, not exactly sure what my goal should be. Last month I arbitrarily set it as 80 miles but only got 65 in. However, my real goal was just to start building my mileage back up and avoid a recurrence of ITB Syndrome.
So, this month I shall aim for 80 again, with the real goal being continuing to avoid the ITBS. I'll also be in Cancun for a week and I tend to not be very good about getting runs in while on vacation, lol.

Happy March all! Going into the month strong after my second sponsorship contract with Wunjo Sports going live today. I just need to get final signing to go live with sponsorship three and my season will be transparent in its gearing/funding. Legs are nearly 100% after the shenanigans in early February so I'll be conservative and put in for 400km.
Also, @juliet3455 you asked in February thread about my shoes through Salming but I only managed to photograph the treads for you today. For shame Jessica
This is the line up:
Trail3:
EnRoute:
Speed5:
The Speed is so fast that its kind of crazy to me. I cranked out 5km running sub 4 minute kms on what me and my HR monitor took as moderate exertion. Only difference is the shoes. If any of you shoe addicts are interested in trying Salming btw my friends and family discount code is MCBRIDE20
