The ...Running slow alone will not build endurance. The mileage increase does that. Don't do the race pace all at once, if it's too much. Try 800s (totaling 3 miles) with a nice, slow jog in between. Then finish with a nice, big bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, a 6 pack of Stella, and Seasons 1-5 of Sex & the City or Season 1 of True Detective.<br /><br />She Is Out Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497517619863017396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-20993183112399671882014-04-06T05:54:26.392-04:002014-04-06T05:54:26.392-04:00Thanks Michelle!

Using a half as a training run is a good idea because all the the other runners provide good motivation and distraction. You can do this too!The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-18210876387717096992014-04-06T05:51:04.744-04:002014-04-06T05:51:04.744-04:00I did HM pace for only 3 miles today, although I m...I did HM pace for only 3 miles today, although I missed achieving it My strategy is to build stamina by introducing speed in small amounts (3 miles) while building endurance by running slower on long runs.<br /><br />I've been planning to bring more speed to Runsketeer runs once I've made more progress. The issue right now is if I run race pace for 2-3 miles I won't be able to get through the balance of the long run.The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-20507812626247508912014-04-06T00:38:11.841-04:002014-04-06T00:38:11.841-04:00My pace has totally slacked this winter, so I am u...My pace has totally slacked this winter, so I am using my first half of 2014 as a training run.

Are you saying that I should follow your workout for my Thursday runs?<br /><br />We'll have plenty to discuss tomorrow.

Maybe try running 4 miles with 2 at HM pace or 5 miles with 2.5 @ HM pace. Just my two unsolicited cents. <br /><br />And yes, I hope to see both of you at some point on the campus tomorrow, hopefully, next to me!She Is Out Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497517619863017396noreply@blogger.com
