re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Alright I’m back in. I got fat and out of shape with weight lifting. Peaked at a little over 40 miles a week back in spring 2019 but I can barely run 2 miles now without having to walk.
I don’t want to stop strength training, so it’s going to be interesting to see if I can truly do both. I believe I can as evidenced by a separate post from the other day.
Goal is to start with 10 miles this week and bump up 2-3 miles each week. There’s a half marathon in October I’m eyeing, so plenty of time to do a slow build up.
2 miles this morning. 10:43/mile pace. Sucked but here we go.

Met the Sat AM run group for the first time in a while. We aren’t still “official” yet, but we had a good group of folks.
I ran with the 12 mile group. This was my second time to do 12 miles. First time in weeks that I ran without something bothering me. Not sure if it’s the IT band exercises and stretching I’m doing or just the adrenaline of being in the group. They were pacing at 9:00 which is a little much for me. We formed a 9:30 group at about mile 9 to finish it out.
I’ve really missed the group runs. It’s easier to push myself as there is ALWAYS someone faster. There’s a Thursday night group that runs downtown from the various breweries. Looking forward to trying that one out.

You can definitely do both.

You can absolutely do both. I lift heavy every other day and run 5-6 days a week. If you periodize both just right, you get the most out of both.

Training legs will be crucial but you have to work the right percentages
The volume with those many miles will eventually wreck your legs and performance will get worse
Also be sure to use those long slow runs and mix in some speed work.
