re: Runners of the OT: Precentages?

When you are training for half marathons or marathons, sometimes adding a set amount of mileage each week isn't as meaningful as the percentage increase. Adding a mile to your run when you are only running 2 miles is a huge increase. Where as adding a mile to your run when you are running 18 miles, is not really a big increase for the week.
For a 10k, I'd just consistently push myself if I were you and you'll get there. Just make sure you finish your runs not leaving a lot in the tank, and you'll continue to build. A lot of the time I talk myself out of what I can do, then once I'm done with the run, I realize I probably could have done more and that's a waste of a whole day.
I did this the other day on my bike. I had never ridden more than 20 miles (new to riding). Took a new route and when I got back, pulled out my route tracker and saw that I had just ridden 40 miles!

Good advise. I always sprint my last 1/4 mile just to ensure I'm not walking back inside with fuel left.
