What Does Your Running Schedule Look Like?

I normally run mon. wed. fri. I just got up to 30 minutes but feel like I can run longer I just get bored because it's beeing raining alot and I don't have anywhere to safely run without just running in a circle. When running I run about 10 minutes miles on a good day and 11.5 on a slow one. I would like to get down below that but I would be happy just being able to run straight for 60 minutes/ six miles.

My current goal is to come in under two hours at my next Half, which is in October (this will be my fourth Half). My current plan is:

Mondays - Speedwork (Hills, Tempo, Intervals)
Tuesdays - Easy 6km
Thursdays - Moderate 8-10km
Saturdays - Long (13km this weekend, peaking at 25ish in September)

I also play ultimate frisbee on Wednesdays so there's some running there too but I don't count it here since I can't quantify it.

Sounds like you are doing everything right; if you are already doing 5 miles a few times a week, you can already do a 10k.

So, just out of curiosity, what does your running schedule look like?

When in full training mode (not recovering from an illness as I am now), I run every day for between 12 and 24 consecutive days, with doubles 2 to 3 days per week. In non-marathon training, runs range from 6 t0 16 miles with the afternoon double runs usually 4 to 5 miles. In marathon training mode, the long run goes up to 22 miles. I typically log between 55 and 70 miles per week. Most of this, probably close to 85% of the miles are logged at my easy run pace, which falls between 8:45 mm and 10:00 mm.

...and what are your running goals?

My goal for this year is to qualify for Boston at the Baystate Marathon in Lowell MA this October. I have to run < 3:15. Any other PRs that fall along the way are just icing on the cake.

I have no goals or set schedule at the moment. Loosely, my plan is to run 4 times thru the weekdays, 3-5 miles a clip. And try to get a run in over the weekend, preferable a 10+ miler. Summer is a busy, busy time, that's why I don't try to hold to anything very strict.

When I was marathon training I had 4-5 runs per week and a long run each weekend.

I try to get out and run 4 x weekly (Tues, Thurs, Sat & Sun) with Sunday being my long day. When I'm not training for a specific race the first 3 runs of the week will vary between 5 & 10km (depending on my mood & how fast I want to go), Sundays will usually be at least 12 to 15 km - when I'm getting race ready the Sunday runs get longer....

I run 7 miles..3 times a week, usually at about a 9-10 min mile. I am an outside runner so the days vary depending on the weather. I just decided that I may want to try a half marathon this summer..so now I have to focus on longer runs and better times...

I am curious too!

I'm running my first 5k race June 30, so right now trying to run 5k or more at least 3 times a week, focusing on increasing speed. After that I plan to run 5k at least once a week, and sprint/walk 5k at least once a week.

I don't really have any desire to run farther and don't have time to run every day and still fit in the other workouts I want. So a short run 2-3 times a week is the most I'm shooting for right now.

I really like Jeff Galloways plans, they are longer in weeks, but only 3 days of running.

I am training for my second half, following his half marathon plan for distance runners. I run 3 times a week. I work full time 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts, so it can be difficult to run on those days.

I did the top one for my first half, now working on the bottom plan http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/half_marathon.html

I'm running my first 5k in a few weeks... I don't know if I'll be able to run the whole thing. I am following the couch to 5k program but I took a couple weeks off (bad, I know) so when I picked it back up last night on week 6 day 3, which is a 22 minute run, I only ran for 17 minutes. When I got down to my last 5 minutes I was at the bottom of this never-ending hill lol... so that's disappointing. I'll try the 22 minute run again tomorrow and see what happens.

I've been running 3 years, and have 2 races under my belt (marathon, and 5K). I'm currenly training for a half marathon in Sept., and a full in November, a 50K in March, and then a 50 miler next July.

Sunday: off
Monday: 120 minute
Tuesday: 60 minutes of intervals
Wednesday: Cycle for 60 minutes
Thursday: 60 minute run
Friday: 90 minute run
Saturday: 120 minutes of intervals/sprints

I run 3 times a week.

Tuesday: 3.5 miles
Thursday: 3.5 miles
Saturday: 4-10 miles

I'm "doing" the c25k plan and my "schedule" is supposed to be Mon, Wed, Fri. But in reality is more like Day 1 run, Days 2, and 3 watch it pour rain:explode: LOL I've been tryng to complete week 2 for almost a month:grumble: :grumble:

Currently I'm training for a half marathon (again, I trained last year but has an injury one month out and changed to run a 10k instead).
My current schedule looks something like this:
Monday: 5k hill run. My race has hills so I'm going to be prepared.
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: 6km pace run (starting slow and running a portion at race pace)
Thursday: 5km intervals
Friday: rest
Saturday: long run. I'm 11 weeks out from my half marathon so this weekend's run will be 10km, increasing over the weeks to 20km a few weeks before the race
Sunday: rest

My schedule is pretty flexible - it its too stormy outside on one day, I'll swap the runs around. If I only get three runs in for the week, that's OK but I'm aiming for four.

The weekday runs will get a little bit longer as the program goes on - it's based on the Marathon Rookie training plan.
Last year I used a Runkeeper training plan but I think that had too many runs and too many km, so this time I'm keeping it a bit leaner on the miles and speed and am hoping to avoid injury that way.

My best advice:
- good shoes
- good bra (mostly for the ladies)
- start running slowly, build up endurance before speed
- find a program that pushes you, but not too fast or too hard - injuries suck!
- find a race to aim for.

Enjoy!
