    I ran my first marathon last weekend. I went from couch to marathon in 13 months. The key is increasing mileage slowly! Either longer runs or adding a day of running a week.

    I now run 6 days a week, my base mileage being 40 miles a week. I'll start increasing again mid-june, and I'm planning to peak at 65 miles a week for a couple of times before my next marathon in August.

    Your body will adapt to almost anything if you take it slowly and listen to it when there is a hint of a pain.

    Also, anyone looking for new runner friends can add me :-) I love having running friends on here!

    I'm doing my first 5k next month, I'd say I'm been running 3.1 miles 1x week, but the rest of the week usually includes 2-3x kettlebells, one spinning class, and one kickboxing class. I know I should run more but honestly, my tolerance for running more than five minutes really improved when I started using kettlebells consistently-they made a huge difference in my cardio. I might give up the kickboxing for another running day. I'm trying not to overdo it-I am a beginner and I run REALLY slow.

    My weekly goal of CARDIO is 5 days.

    Try to get in 3 days of running a minimum of 30-45 minutes. Since I'm training for another 10k, I'm using an app called 10kPro. Love it. Those other two days I use another piece of equipment at the gym...elliptical, bicycle....

    Most weeks I average 20-30 miles. Some weeks I'll go 3-4 miles everyday. Other weeks I'll go 6-7 miles 4 days a week. It really depends on how busy I am and what kind of race I am preparing for. I do all my miles outside better prepares me for races.
    Have fun and don't outrun yourself.
