run more

I’m putting this goal top of mind with a challenge. I’ll begin running starting end of this week with the below goals. Slightly modified from previous:

Week 1: Run 5 miles / 1 mile at a time
Week 2: Run 6 miles / 2 miles at a time
Week 3: Run 10 miles / 2 miles at a time
Week 4: Run 12 miles / 3-4 miles at a time
Week 5: Run 15 miles / 3-4 miles at a time
Week 6: Run 20 miles / 3-4 miles at a time
Week 7: Run 25 miles / 5-7 miles at a time
Week 8: Run 35 miles / 5-7 miles at a time
Week 9: Run 40 miles / 6-8 miles at a time
Week 10: Run 45 miles / 6-8 miles at a time
Week 11: Run 50 miles / 9-11 miles at a time
Week 12: Run 60 miles / 9-11 miles at a time
Week 13: Run 65 miles / 12-15 miles at a time
Week 14: Run 70 miles / 12-15 miles at a time
Week 15: Run 70 miles / 18-20 miles at a time
Week 16: Run 75 miles / 20-22 miles at a time
Week 17: Run 75 miles / 22-24 miles at a time
Week 18: Run 80 miles / 24-26 miles at a time

This will mean in 4 1/2 months – I will be able to run a marathon with no problem. YES!

Bummer, I’ve been so busy with work I have only been running once or twice a week. So behind now.

Well, this goal is actually tied to 2 other goals of mine – to run a triathalon and lose weight. I think running more would be the KEY thing to do at this point.

Therefore, I will start off in this manner:

Week 1: Run 8 miles / 1 mile at a time
Week 2: Run 10 miles / 2 miles at a time
Week 3: Run 14 miles / 2 miles at a time
Week 4: Run 20 miles / 3-4 miles at a time
Week 5: Run 25 miles / 5 miles at a time
Week 6: Run 30 miles / 6 miles at a time
Week 7: Run 40 miles / 5-8 miles at a time
Week 8: Run 50 miles / 7-10 miles at a time
Week 9: Run 55 miles / 10-12 miles at a time
Week 10: Run 60 miles / 10-12 miles at a time

I think I have broke this out by what I can handle. Since I only have 6 days left this week – I might have to spend Tues or Wed to run an extra 2 miler.
