I'm running a 5k (which I have done many times...though slowly) in two weeks. I will also be running a 4 miler thanksgiving day. This will be the most distance I have ever run, i understand 4 miles is only .8 more than a 5k, but does anyone have any tips to push myself the rest of the way? thanks

    Good luck!! Running my first in two weeks. Maybe I'll make it to 4 someday!

    When that little voice in your head says "Stop! You've gone far enough!" Don't listen! LOL!
    A couple of weeks of adding 1/2 a mile to your current mileage will more than cover that and shouldn't be pushing you too much.

    Since Thanksgiving is still three weeks away. Start training for it now. The same way with your 5k, continue training for that. I ran two 5K's this past summer and I trained for two months for that. The best to do is interval training. Run for two minutes then walk for one, that helps monitor your heart rate. But I would definitely start training for it now. Each time you do a 5k, try to beat your previous time. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! Good luck!!
