"Complete Book of Women's Running" Intermediate training cha

julieinomaha

Happy Sunday! I have been running a couple days a week and then doing a couple of days of strength training for about 10 months, however it seems I can't get my endurance level up. I just read the "Complete Book of Women's Running" and have decided I need to temporarily drop the weight training and put in 4 days of running a week to get in running shape. I am going to start the intermediate training schedule. It is a 16 week schedule that moves you systematically up in endurance and performance. Right now sometimes running feels great and at other times I am just not that into it. I have heard too much that consistancy is king in running so I want to give a real go and break through the plateau and see if I want to move on and run a 10K or rediversify my aerobic routine. Right now I run 3 to 4 miles each run twice a week and I would like to do about 18 miles in 4 runs each week at the end.

Is there anyone in a similar situation that would like to join me and share their progress to help keep me on track too? Women or men are welcome! The main thing is that you are committed to a 4 to 5 day a week running schedule at your individual pace. To keep it simple, if you want to join me, just ask me to add you as a friend and we will just stay on track together.
