Four miles in 32:46. Two tomorrow, three Wednesday, and seven Saturday. I may run early Wednesday morning so I can beat the nasty weather that’s supposed to be running through.

8 weeks isn't enough time to train well for a half,
I dunno, depends on what kind of shape you’re in and what your goals are. That’s about how much time I have to prepare for my next half. I’m not too terribly worried about putting in a decent time and PR but I’d imagine I’ll still run fast. All depends on the work you’ve already done and your off season base come spring racing season.

I just did two fulls in 10 weeks. Training isn’t the concern. I’m just looking for what’s next. I want to improve my time and get closer to 3:45 so I’m planning to focus on speed. I just want to find something that builds mileage with speed.

Damn son. Why didn't you say that?

I thought you were like some of us other newbies to this thread. I think you could probably give some of us some pointers.Posted on 2/4/20 at 8:13 am to DownSouthJukin
Sorry, good point.
Pointer 1: I would not recommend two fulls in 10 weeks.
No matter how much I rest, I still feel tired.

Not what I expected after reading this.

8 weeks is obviously enough time to sharpen for a half if you have recently put in marathon level volume.

Get this book.

Just ordered that book. Thanks. I like my Hal Higdon book, Run Fast, but he rambles a bit and leaves some things unexplained.
I don't like running in the mornings. I had to go this AM because my wife has us going somewhere tonight at 6. No way I could get my evening run in. Don't like it being dark. Don't like it being early. Ran near the house and it's all uphill both ways.
Question: my kettlebell routine has two squat variants in it: a sumo squat (wide leg splits) and a standard goblet squat. Since I've incorporated them into my routine (two weeks now), my knees have been bothering me. It's not painful, but they just feel weird. More numb and weak than anything else. So, do I quit the squats or just power through it?
What's the TD Strava group? My neighbor has me convinced into using it.

It's excellent. It's a little much for beginners, but anyone wanting to learn the purpose of all the different types of workouts and how to incorporate them into a comprehensive program will benefit from it. It also contains some sample plans for each distance. This book taught me the importance of not just building volume but developing from general to specific and timing it all well in order to minimize injury risk and peak at just the right time.

Running in the dark is creepy at first, but I love it now. Running in the morning seems to boost my energy all day long too.

Where is the numbness? Is it coming from the low back, buttocks, or below the thigh? Is it on both sides or just one?

Top (knee cap) and inside (inner leg) of the knee itself.

Welp. Finally signed up for Strava and joined the group.
I've been running with the kid mostly, which means I'll bring my phone with me (and a host of other crap in the stroller), so decided it was time.
Don't expect fast times. Turns can be a bit tricky

Sounds like you are working on some patellar tendinitis or ACL irritation. I would stop doing them for a couple of days . Then, when you start doing them again, try turning your toes out a little more and widening your stance. Do a few sets without weight first. You want to lower your hips down between your heels rather than lean back. Goblets are supposed to be a cross between a hip hinge and a squat movement. Look up form on the internet if you haven't before and make sure you have that correct first.

I ran with my younger daughter in the jogging stroller until she got too heavy to push up hills without getting winded.

I left out the box jumps I've been doing in between sets of my kettlebell swings. I think that's the culprit. I'll quit the squats and jumps the rest of the week and see how that goes.

Sounds like a good plan.
Posted on 2/4/20 at 12:47 pm to LSU Patrick
It's more of a mental thing than anything. I typically run 5 days a week, the other two days are rest or cross training. I've read a lot about run streaks lately and wanted to see what it might do for me from a focus standpoint while not in a specific training block.

I get you now. 
I tried that once, and I got bored. I find that I stay more consistent when I have a lot of variety in my raining. I run 6 days a week once I get serious, but I do something a little different (add some hill sprints or drills to recovery runs, speed or hill work, tempo, long run, progression run) each day. Everyone is different, but that is what works best for me.

I like running in the mornings, but hate doing it in the winter. Got up this morning to squeeze a run in. It was dark when I started and dark when I finished. I guess I could have run tonight after work. Then at least it would have been dark when I started and dark when I finished.
Winter sucks.
