go for it. i ran my first half with only 2 long runs, both of which were 9 miles. during the week i wasn't able to run much, so i'd be lucky to even hit 20 miles a week. it's a great experience though and having finished it, makes me only want to trian harder for another in the spring.
good luck

switch up your running patterns!

Hey,
I just went to my physical therapy appt and they told me that from running against traffic all the time (which is what i way always taught) my right hip is lower than my left and basically affects me as if one leg is longer than the other. i need to go back for a few more sessions to realign my hips and learn exercises to strengthen my core muscles. Just informing you all before something stupid like this happens to you. The PT said to switch up sides of the road or go to the track and alternate directions once in a while. the pitch of the road is what caused this.

Re: sched. to run 9 miles today

guest — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 18:09:00 GMT

i had a simialr issue today...not with the runs though. i was supposed to do 7, and i did it but spent the last 1.5 walking. i didn't start my run till 10 though and it was already hot when i got out.... i feel the frustration.

strained abs?

guest — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:27:00 GMT

is it possible?
i have not done any ab exercises since monday and today i woke up with my left side screaming. i've been sore before, but this is more towards the front and feels like its pulling when i try to stand, or lay certain ways, and even when i take a deep breath....

does this sound normal? could it be something else.?
i only need to run 3 today so i can jsut do that easy if i need to.
thanks

Re: Is this too much summer base for me?

Trackrunner....
you're going to get people's opinions on this site...you know that. some of these runners did not do HS sports. However, they are just looking out for you. You are only 14, yes, but vomiting shouldn't be part of your regular training schedule....
that's my opinion, because you asked, i am sure others will have other advice.

Good luck base building this summer...I'll be doing the same!!

side stiches

guest — Wed, 16 May 2007 03:39:00 GMT

Hey all
I have been doing so good up until these last few runs. at about 2.5 miles i cramp up on my right side so bad that i need to stop to walk. i haven't changed with what i eat or anything. the only thing i can think of is the temperature is getting warmer.
Any advice...ideas...or just simply how to get through the cramp. i'm just getting bummed...i missed my long run this week and i'm all out of sorts.

ps- i signed up for the marine corps marathon...it'll be my first!
