How much should I run?
I believe that this runner needs to be consistent. I need to run at least three days a week. I try to run 4-5 days a week. However, I am not afraid to take time off if I feel an injury coming on. On days when I'm extra tired, I'm not afraid to cut back.
How far should I run?
It depends upon the event I'm training for. Marathons and half marathons demand more miles. Other distances demand more speed work. When I'm on a maintenance plan, I try to run about 20-25 miles per week. The mileage will include one speed work session and one long run of at least 8 miles. |

How fast should I run?
I try to vary my paces. Long runs 11:30-12:00 per mile. Speed work 9:00-9:40 per mile Tempo run 10:30-11:00 per mile. I am not afraid to slow down If things start to fall apart.
My basic philosophy is to survive so I can keep running for the long haul!
