I am currently rehabbing a knee injury, but I am training for a HM in April, a potential duathlon in April (3mi run + 16mi bike + 3mi run), a 10k in May, and a 10.2 miler in June. Time goals are all dependent on knee status and the safest pace I can sustain without risking injury.

^^ This + 1.

You are correct, but you forgot a couple of things.. People here who know me KNOW that running is my PASSION. They also know that I am working my mileage back up. YOU also know this. I posted my cycling miles because I was asked about my goals. I did this is to keep me accountable. While I am working my mileage back up, of…

Awesome ride @ddmom0811! I hope your knee is okay!

You mean that there's no "Running on a Paved Walk at the Park during the daytime hours only when less than 100 people are there challenge"? WTF?? </sarcasm> :wink:
-
Considering that you have the time, don't forget to post challenge links for everyone else in this thread who posts walking, strength training, or other workouts that they do in addition to their running.. Personally, IDGAF. I'll post what I want to :smiley:
-
Thank you @fabnine. Ermegerd! Cross training :open_mouth: I find it hilarious that only cycling is brought up in this comment.. Where are all of the negative comments about strength training, walking, or any other cross training that everyone else posts in addition to running? I guess we need to make challenges for each…

@Stoshew71: Alright Stan.. I'm finally starting to come back. Put me down for 140 miles this month. I'm not even going to mention my ambitious cycling goal :smile: 03/01 -- REST DAY 03/02 -- 5.25 miles 03/03 -- Haven't ran.. Yet.

If you include your warmup and cool down during your runs, it would make sense that your average cadence is below your 185 goal. Is your normal running cadence around 160 as well? If so, increasing to 185 spm that quickly may put you at risk of injury. I would recommend trying to increase your cadence slower and…

Dayum. Awesome story V! Your mother sounds like she was a wonderful woman.

I would highly recommend sticking with the Maffetone 180 method. It worked awesome for building my aerobic base. After a short while (before my recent knee injury), my HR at 9' miles was the same as it previously was at 11' miles. It takes time and consistency to adjust, but it does work. Now that I'm back to training, I…

I don't really "lift", but I do bodyweight exercises. I would highly recommend them :smile:

I've already added you on GC, but I know you'll be happy with the FR220! Congrats! That's what I had before I upgraded to the 920XT and I loved it :smile:

You have a twofer.. Fold it in half and you have an omelette. Still not pizza.

Coconut water is good too.

It really depends on your fitness level and the distance of the race. You do not want to go run for an hour before racing a marathon or jog a marathon before racing a 5k. For example: IMHO, the best way to dynamically warm up for a 5-10k is to run (at slower pace) 2-5k while incorporating drills (skips, high knees, butt…
-
If you can run a marathon, you can run an ultra. I ran two last year and loved them ;). If you are reluctant about the distance, start with a 50k or timed event to see how you like it. You can find plenty of races at: https://ultrasignup.com/ I would recommend keeping a fairly high mileage base, work on a fueling and…

^^ THIS.

Another +1 for Doug's answer. If you are looking for a safe way to build up your mileage, I would highly recommend looking into the Maffetone 180 method. Good luck :smile:
-
This all depends on what your goal is. If you only want to finish, then yes -- you could speed walk the 26.2. If you want to race it, then it depends on your body and its' ability to heal. If you are looking to *race* the marathon, then listen to Carson. It will require time on your feet, 50+ mile weeks, and time for your…

What kind of "pain" are you having? Where exactly is the "pain"? Is it more of a muscular soreness, cramping, or sharp pain? If it really is PAIN, do NOT run through it. If the pain is lower in the calf around the soleus muscle, this could mean that you are over-striding (and heel striking fairly hard). This puts too much…
-
I retract my previous statement.. I would HIGHLY recommend increasing your weekly base mileage before attempting back-to-back HMs. Doing both races will be a recipe for injury.
