    That is a huge accomplishment. You will realize soon that you can go farther quickly, but be careful to not increase your distance too quickly. Be sure to cross train (cycling, swimming, rowing, etc) 2-3 days per week and get those leg muscles strong with squats, lunges, and deadlifts.

    Advancing your distance too quickly will cause you lots of knee and leg pain (unless you are very young :). Your cardiovascular system will become in better shape way before those leg muscles.

    General rule of thumb is don't increase weekly milage > 10% per week. I advise following this rule. I didn't and paid the price.
