Anybody out there training for a 5k-42k?

I'm on week 11 of my 10k program. I'm learning about pacing myself. This is the most I've ever run.

I am in marathon training. I have a Garmin ForeRunner 220 that is synched to Garmin Connect and strava. I also manually log it here on mfp.

The plan I am using is totally customized by me based upon experience and the reading I have done. I built up 60 miles/week with a single 20 mile Long Run and 2 other tempo related runs (with strides) twice a week. The rest of my miles are easy runs and recovery runs.

I'm racing a 25km mountain trail run (punishing hill climbing a feature) coming up in a two weekends; beyond that I'm aiming for a 50km ultra (urban/urban trails) on New Years Day and more mountain races, perhaps an ultra mountain race, next year.

I also use a Garmin GPS running watch auto sync'd to Strava (like so many others do) for the social aspect and also because when I started running using just my Android phone for tracking I had started with Strava. It's fun to see all the data in one place, although for training the more recent data is more relevant of course.

Assuming you have no health issues that running can't fix you'll beat your 1998 PB given some time base building and training. As an older runner now I find I am much more dedicated to training. Wish I had been more dedicated in my 20's and 30's!
