Goal for month 40miles

Long run on my bridge programme for half marathon done. Probably too fast and HR was above what I really wanted but so much better than Thursday when doing part of the same route. Today seemed effortless and I got half way before realising where I was. And that was without the distraction of some music. Great day, hope your training goes well.

10/1 – 3.26 miles
10/2 – Rest day before 13.1
10/3 – Rest day before 13.1
10/4 – 13.36 miles – 1st Half Marathon competed! Goal met! (2:26:19) Maintained a great pace for miles 1-5 then had a pinched nerve in my right toes making it impossible to focus on anything but the pain. Stopped a few times to massage foot. Still happy with the run. Next half scheduled for Nov. 27. Continue training switching to a sub 2:15 plan. :drinker:

Guess I'm a little late to start but I'm doing my best! Started out strong today and plan to hit 100 miles this month. This is such an awesome idea. I used to be way more of a runner but recently found a great trail and am now looking forward to my daily runs. Thank you!0

Hello. I just found this and think it's an awesome idea. I'm still fairly new to running and brand new to this site. I like a couple other people's idea of 31 miles in 31 days. I joined the group and plan to follow along. Thanks!

@bkbenda-You rock! Great time in your first Half Marathon! 7 weeks until your second & you'll cut 12 minutes off your time- that's determination! :happy: Go for it!

Nooooo!!! If they want to know your distance in miles, they should be able to convert kilometers to miles and vice versa! Little math does not hurt anybody :bigsmile: :glasses:0 -

I really felt like I could have ran even farther, I wasn't tired at all by the end of my run. But I ended up going to the gym later in the evening and I'm heading there early tomorrow morning, so I didn't want to tire myself out too much.
I'm thinking about changing my goals... I'm definitely going to reach 30 in another week or week and a half.

Personally, I think math is deceptively treacherous, but I am capable of using a calculator.0
