I plan to run a 50k next year and I'll top my training out at a marathon. But that's mostly because I'm afraid if I run 30+ miles before the actual race, I won't want to do it again ;)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202356074707159805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-78326379431244490312011-10-07T22:35:57.733-04:002011-10-07T22:35:57.733-04:00I've only ran one race and based on that exper...I've only ran one race and based on that experience, I definitely would want to run further if not as much as any future race.<br /><br />I trained at 2 mile runs for my 5K and felt like I could have prepared/trained better, for sure.<br /><br />Next time I think I'll train at 4 miles, that way the 3.1 won't be as difficult =)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554832916785604228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-42534247628065258542011-10-07T20:43:20.308-04:002011-10-07T20:43:20.308-04:00That's perfect!

I've done it for a half and while you can run 13 if you can run 10, the last three feel really, really hard. <br /><br />Have you done a post on how you are fitting in running with a new baby? My husband and I have been talking a lot about babies lately and one of the things that sort of worries me is how to fit in my running.Leehttp://inmytummy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-49225041059479413952011-10-07T19:40:35.029-04:002011-10-07T19:40:35.029-04:00When I trained for my half I really wanted to do t...When I trained for my half I really wanted to do the whole thing in training, but 12 was as close as I got. However, on race day the last 1.1 wasn't bad at all! But I built up slowly and I think that made more of a difference than running the actual difference (for me at least).Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992265744485772093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-30399515895841190252011-10-07T18:47:11.940-04:002011-10-07T18:47:11.940-04:00Oh girl - I'm an "all the way" kinda...Oh girl - I'm an "all the way" kinda chica too!! I have NEVER toed the line for any of my distance races without at least going the full race distance TWICE before race day! Going the distance is a priceless way to arrive at the starting line knowing you can do it. Glad you found a plan. The rest of your team, though, is FREAKIN' out about not finishing before sunset - like it's going to take "C" about 3 hours and me about 3.5 hours so . . . girl, train like the wind :) EEK - trail running (especially HUFF trail running) is NOT like road running - scary!!!! We'll try to bring our A game, but our A game is much like your D- game so . . .<br />Good luck with your training!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-34475419726736321672011-10-07T17:10:20.983-04:002011-10-07T17:10:20.983-04:00I totally agree with you!

It turned out to be a much better race than my 1st half when my training program topped out at 10miles. When I do the marathon, I like a good 22 miler in there somewhere. I don't want my legs and body to have to wonder what its like to run those last 3.1. Have fun training!!!Liz @ runbakeracehttp://www.runbakerace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-84716570829047353602011-10-07T16:59:57.475-04:002011-10-07T16:59:57.475-04:00I used that Novice I plan when I trained for my fi...I used that Novice I plan when I trained for my first half marathon..

I really want to run the full distance of a race prior to the event. <br /><br />Going into the half this last time, I had only gone 11 miles. And the half was the only the 5th time I had gone over 10 miles. I was able to survive, but I think if I had gone the full 13 prior to the race my last 5k would have been less of a struggle. <br /><br />Once I get over this injury I think I will run the full race distance next time I train for a half. <br /><br />Good luck training for the Huff. I am excited for you guys. I sort of wish I wasn't afraid to do it!~* Jenn *~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07541103665242464789noreply@blogger.com
