For my ...Don't worry - you'll feel the miles later. For my first marathon, I looked at a bunch of schedules, counted back from the run I wanted to run, then made my own schedule (with Eric's and Rob's help). I didn't have patience for an 18 week plan - I gave myself 13 weeks. I was already past the half marathon point. Whatever you decide, be sure to take a cut-back week every three weeks or so - even if you don't think you need it. You will end up much stronger with a little built in rest.Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-71615427952996364962007-06-14T20:07:00.000-07:002007-06-14T20:07:00.000-07:00Fun run with the pups...cool!Speaking as an oft-in...Fun run with the pups...cool!<BR/><BR/>Speaking as an oft-injured runner, stick to the plan even when you feel like you could do more.

Your body knows all. Some weeks you can run forever and others and hard with each step. The only thing I would warn against would be increasing each week by more than 10%.<BR/><BR/>That's my take. No fee required :).Gotta Run.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647983887882662002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-78671481552875062482007-06-14T17:32:00.000-07:002007-06-14T17:32:00.000-07:00hi...came to your blog from Marcy's...

Looks like you have a lot of time to experiment before Portland, I think the general rule is no more than a 10% increase per week, but everyone is different and as Marcy said, each person knows their body the best.

I feel the same way to sometimes (about wanting to do more miles) but I also don't want to burn myself out. It's up to you though, you know your body better then anyone else :-)<BR/><BR/>And yes I was JK-ing about PGO :P For this run . . .maybe I'll do it next time I'm alone if need be LOL!<BR/><BR/>As for the race . . . . tomorrow at around 6pm good for you?
