HM march and full in September... scarey!!!

Well I was training for my first marathon in March. I've now got a physio appointment on Friday to look at what could be one of a number of issues with my right calf.

I've then got a trail 10K, a night trail 10K and a trail half in May, trail marathon in June, trail 10k and trail half in September, trail marathon in October and a trail half in December.

Subject to the physio assessment I could downgrade my marathon in March to a half or potentially defer to July, September or December.

While I expect to run a 5 mile race on March 12 and a 15K on March 26, I'm really training for the Boston Marathon on April 18.

@yoplait311 - A BQ in May is a fine thing. I did that in 2015, and it committed me to a lot of miles running along about now.

Hi friends,

What is everyone training for?!?

I'm training for the Indy Mini on May 7th!

My husband is thinking about running this race and I will do it with him if he does. It will be his first HM. Most of the races I have scoped out for the beginning of this year are for other people. Right now I am in training limbo and it's kind of driving me crazy. I need to come up with a racing plan. Trying to keep it low key because my main objective is to remain uninjured until the end of the year when I start training for Boston in 2017. Any thoughts on how to get through the next 10 months with minimal risk of injury, yet still maintaining a strong base and my sanity are much appreciated!

Sub 1:28 half in April. And BQ at a full in May. Eeek! Excited

I you are shooting for a sub 1:28 half, you are looking at something close to a BQ - 30:00

Training for RnR Dallas on March 20th, but I'll be running the Leprechaun Chase 10k in Omaha, NE on March 5th first.

NOLA RnR half on the 28th,
A sub 18:00 3 mile test in March
Pensacola Tough Mudder Apr 9
Hopefully a Spartan trifecta this summer

I've got 3 50 milers planned in 2016 (June, Aug and Sept).

I plan to run 50 miles in June, August, and September.*

* Not all on the same day.

Returning. Had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and finally cleared to exercise again.

My next race will be Peachtree on July 4th!

Training for New Jersey Marathon, where I hope to BQ, and even better, go under 3:30. Also running a HM on April 3, hoping to do between 1:37 and 1:39 there.

The Wall 69 miles, Carlisle to Newcastle 24 hr cutoff, in June and a marathon in September, it would be a shame to not lose all that long distance conditioning. Might look for a HM towards the end of the year.

First 10k with about 130m up and down again over a relatively short interval. Sunday it is, though it's been storming so badly these past few that that I wonder whether the race gets cancelled due to rock falls and the danger of being blown off the cliff. I tried the route on Saturday and could in parts not even walk against the wind, and control my descend with the wind in my back.

Two weeks later there's a 10 mile race nearby that I signed up for. Not that I ever ran 10 miles, but lets see how far I get. At least it's flat.

Was going to train for a charity 5K Feb13, because after 6 months of mostly Long Slow Distance runs for half marathon training, I lost some of my fast twitch abilities. But I found it hard to get back into it, and it's an untimed 5K, so I'm moving on. Will start training next week for the Flying Pig HM (May 1), to be followed by the Ventura HM (Sep 11), and Santa to the Sea HM (Dec 11). I'll take the month of May off!
