You have been rocking those 5 mile runs so you are already always halfway there ;) <br /><br />You can eat right and still train, but yeah its challenging. Planning meals ahead of time will certainly help and keeping bad foods out of the house. <br /><br />Good luck with your decision!Kitzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786068747221254753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591489996599189047.post-78761539575234292522010-09-10T10:22:44.073-04:002010-09-10T10:22:44.073-04:00@Kittzy: Yeah I def. adjusted what I'm doing t...@Kittzy: Yeah I def. adjusted what I'm doing these last few weeks. I was doing three long runs and two were back to back days. Oopps!<br /><br />I say if because part of me doubts that I'll be able to do it. I want to focus in building my speed on shorter distances (50, even 10k). Plus like I said on LJ I want to try and focus more on eating right and I'm afraid the half-trianing will sort of overpower that for me. :(Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977695371812904257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591489996599189047.post-25240508465141927852010-09-09T17:05:26.118-04:002010-09-09T17:05:26.118-04:00Yeah that kind of progression is fine up to the 5k...Yeah that kind of progression is fine up to the 5k mark but once you are running for an hour or more those runs need to be just once a week. I always take a rest day before and after long runs to make sure I have fresh legs going into it and time to recover after. Biking the day after a long run though is usually really good active recovery. <br /><br />If you do it? No way! WHEN you do it ;)Kitzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786068747221254753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591489996599189047.post-23514986998590017322010-09-09T16:14:04.822-04:002010-09-09T16:14:04.822-04:00@Kitzzy, I think I might have mad my plan a little...@Kitzzy, I think I might have mad my plan a little too aggresive, especially now that it's towards the end. I have three long runs a week and two are back to back days. Ack! I just revised it a bit. I look forward to seeing what you help Jen put together for the half since that is prob. what I'll model mine from if I do it. :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977695371812904257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591489996599189047.post-63516350452022413842010-09-09T12:18:45.367-04:002010-09-09T12:18:45.367-04:00Sorry to hear about your bad run, but good that yo...Sorry to hear about your bad run, but good that you know that sometimes your on and sometimes you aren't and it's just how it goes.<br /><br />You may be pushing yourself too hard, and not just the pace (though that could be it too). Typical training schedules for any distance only call for 1 long run per week at a slower pace. The other 2-3 runs should be shorter and can be done faster. This prevents burn out and allows ample recovery to avoid injury and have more energy to tackle those long runs (which are the key to endurance training). So you should limit the 5+ miles runs to 1 per week and run about 2-3 miles for the rest of the runs. You should specially not do 2 5+ mile runs in a row. your body needs more recovery time than that.<br /><br />Hang in there and good luck on your 5k this weekend!Kitzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786068747221254753noreply@blogger.com
